How far away is the sun in miles?

Answer 1

It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth.

The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is:

Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km.

The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is

Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.

Answer 2

On average, the same as the from the Earth to the Sun - that is 93.0 million miles. The Earth's distance from the Sun varies from 91.42 to 94.53 million miles, and the Moon orbits the Earth at an average distance of 239,000 miles - only 1/400th the distance between the Earth and the Sun. So the moon can be 91.2 to 94.7 million miles from the Sun.

Answer 3

The distance to the Moon varies dut to its orbit, but it is roughtly 250,000 miles away from Earth.

Answer 4

The Moon is, on average about 238,000 miles away from the Earth.

Answer 5

The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles.

Answer 6

92 million miles.

Answer 7

The sun is 93 million miles away
