AU is short for astronomical units. You use astronomical units to measure distance in the solar system. distances of the planets from the sun mercury-0.4 AU venus-0.7 AU earth-1 AU mars-1.5 AU jupiter-5.2 AU saturn-9.5 AU uranus-19.2 AU neptune-30 AU
An AU is the mean distance between the Earth to the Sun. As the Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical, the distance between the planet and the Sun varies. It varies from about 0.983 AU (at perihelion) and 1.016 AU (at aphelion).
1 Astronomical Unit (1.00 AU) is the mean distance between Earth and the sun. 1 AU is approximately equal to 149,600,000 km Saturn's mean distance from the sun is 9.529 AU Saturn's maximum distance from the sun is 10.044 AU Saturn's minimum distance from the sun is 9.014 AU
.73 AU?But the distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles).
Mercury's Astronomical units is .39 rounded off or if you want to be semi precise it would be .3870320856
0.387 is the average distance from the Sun to Mercury in AU. Note: AU=astronomical unit

The largest distance between Earth and Mercury is when they are at opposite ends of the Sun. So the farthest they can be is 0.38+1 = 1.38 AU.
Mercury averages around this distance from the sun.
On the average, one. The astronomical unit is the distance from the sun to the earth. Since Mercury is inside earth's orbit and the distance between Earth and Mercury can vary by the full width of Mercury's orbit around the sun, the average is the distance between the Earth and the sun.
About 92 AU on average.
No. At Aphelion (furthest distance) it is 69,816,900 km or 0.467 AU from the sun. At perihelion (nearest) it is 46,001,200 km or 0.387 AU from the sun.

An Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
The average distance between Earth and Mercury is 0.62 au. Subtract the Venus to Earth distance (0.27 au). This gives the distance between Mercury and Venus (on average): 0.35 au (astronomical units). Comment: that's not really the average distance it's the smallest distance.
