Earth's current distance of approximately 93,000,000 miles seems about right.
Distance is nothing but a clear demarcation of angle which the distant object makes with an eye of the observer.

The distance from the sun to the star Vega is roughly 25.3 light years.
One Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
Light years are used to measure distance from Earth to distant stars and planets.
The gravity from the Sun is a distant force, but does contribute to the tides.
well about 5 to 6 million distance
Jupiter's average distance from the sun is about 483 1/2 million miles (778 million kilometers)
19.13 AU
Distant Sun was created in 1993-09.
If someone could build a trail from earth to the sun, it would take 3500 years to walk that distance at 3 miles per hour. That makes the sun quite distant in that respect, although it is about 300 thousand times closer to us than the next nearest star.
September 23 and March 21 the poles are equally distant from the sun.
Mercury has a markedly eccentric orbit, so its distance from the Sun varies quite a bit. Its average distance from the centre of the Sun is 57,909,100 km, but at its closest approach (perihelion) it comes in to 46,001,200 km, and at its most distant it wanders out to 69,816,900 km from the centre of the Sun.
The sun was discovered to be a star simultaneous with the discovery that the stars were distant suns. Parallax established the distance to one of the nearer stars, and the distance was so vast it was realized that star had to be a sun like our own. This would have been in the late 1700s.
