The earth is in orbit about the Sun, and the distance varies according to the season of the year. One must also factor in the axial tilt, which explains why seasons are inverted, say, in Australia and parts of South America. if the Earth was straight up and down on its axis- as is often portrayed with globes, this would not occur. The Earth to Sun distance varies between 92 and 93 Million miles.

Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.


What is the scale distance of Mars?

The average distance between Mars and the Sun is about 1.5 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. This distance can vary because both Mars and Earth have elliptical orbits.


Is Earth always precisely 1 AU from the sun?

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).


Why isn't the distance between the earth and the sun the cause of the seasons?

It doesn't vary so much. The face of the Earth directed at the sun varies yearly -- seasons!

What is the distance between the sun and the Earth in March?

The average distance between the sun and Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This distance remains relatively constant throughout the year, so it does not vary significantly in March compared to other months.


How many kilometres between the Sun and the earth?

The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (about 93 million miles). This distance is known as one astronomical unit (AU) and can vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun.


What happen when the distance between the sun and the earth changes?

If the distance between the sun and the earth changes, it can affect the strength of sunlight reaching the earth's surface. This change in distance can impact the earth's climate and temperatures. However, the earth's distance from the sun does vary slightly throughout the year due to its elliptical orbit, affecting seasons but not significantly impacting life on earth.
