At the moment (this date changes over long periods due to precession and Milankovitch cycles), Earth's perihelion (closest point to the sun in an elliptical orbit) occurs around January 3rd, and the aphelion (furthest point from the sun in an elliptical orbit) around July 4th. The changing Earth-Sun distance results in an increase of about 6.9% in solar energy reaching the Earth at perihelion relative to aphelion.

What are the longest and shortest distances from the earth to the sun?
The longest distance from Earth to the Sun is about 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers) in July when Earth is farthest from the Sun (aphelion). The shortest distance is about 91.5 million miles (147 million kilometers) in January when Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion).
Plutos shortest distance from the sun?
In my opinion Pluto, has an average distance from the Sun of 5.913 x (10 to the 9th power) km. Earth has an average distance from the Sun of 150,000,000 km.

The planet with the shortest orbit arount the sun?
Of the known planets, Mercury is the one at the smallest average distance from the sun, and with the shortest orbit.
Does the closest planet to the sun have the shortest orbit?
Yes. The closer an object is to the Sun, the shorter the distance it has to travel to get around it.

Which planet has a distance from the sun that is about 150 percent of earth's distance from the sun?
Venus has an average distance from the Sun that is about 108% of Earth's distance. This makes Venus the planet closest to having a distance from the Sun that is 150% of Earth's distance.
What earth minimum distance from sun?
The Semi-major axis. This is one Atronomical Unit (AU). The distance varies in practice though, due to the orbit not being a perfect and centralised circle. The perihelion is the shortest distance that a planet will be to the sun, the aphelion the longest.
Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?
