0.523 AU apart. On average. Neither the earth's orbit, or particularly Mars' orbit are perfect circles. So "closest approach" is rarely this distance.

How many AUs is the asteroid belt from the sun?

The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter and is about 2.2 to 3.2 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.


What is smaller an astronomical unit or the average size of Neptune's orbit?

An astronomical unit (AU) is smaller than the average size of Neptune's orbit. 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles. Neptune's average distance from the Sun is about 30 astronomical units, making it significantly larger than the distance of 1 AU.


Why did aus 8 steel blade rust?

AUS-8 steel can rust if not properly maintained due to its carbon content and lack of corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steels. Factors such as exposure to moisture, salts, and acidic environments can contribute to rusting on an AUS-8 blade. Regular cleaning, drying, and oiling can help prevent rust on AUS-8 steel.


How far from is Jupiter from the sun?

Because the orbit of Jupiter around the sun is not a perfect circle, its distance from the sun depends on where it is in its orbit.At Perihelion(closest point in the orbit to the Sun): 740,573,600 km / 4.95 AU / 460,171,100 milesAt aphelion (farthest point in the orbit to the Sun): 816,520,800 km / 5.458 AU / 507,304,400 milesThe semimajor axis of its orbit is: 778,547,200 km / 5.2 AU / 483,711,400 milesIts average distance from the sun is 5.2 AU (5.2 times the average earth/sun distance) or about 43.3 light-minutes.


What is the planets distance from the sun converted into AUs?

Do AUs measure the speed of light?

No. An A.U. is the average radius of the Earths orbit around the Sun. (which can be measured in light years or light minutes (about 8) if you want).

How do you spell apatosauraus?

You are close. It is apatosaurus. Just 'us' at the end, not 'aus'.


Take 20 years to orbit sun how far away in au?

You're a bit farther out than Jupiter. Jupiter takes about 19 years and is approximately 5 AUs away. So you would have to be around 5 AUs away


How far is mars from earth in miles and Au's?

The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun while Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun so the distance from Earth to Mars varies from 1.52-1 to 1.52+1 AU, which is quite a range. To put AUs into miles multiply by 93,000,000.


How many AUs is the asteroid belt from the sun?

How far away is Mars to Jupiter?

Mars and Jupiter are separated by an asteroid belt. The distance between them is 3.7 AUs (Astronomical Units). One AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth. 1 AU = 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) 3.7 AU = 555 million km (344 million miles) The actual distance from Jupiter to Mars is constantly changing. Use the related link below for the current distance between the two planets.

How many AU's is the dwarf planet Pluto from the sun?

Pluto has an orbit that varies greatly in its distance from the sun. At a minimum, Pluto is 29.6 AUs from the Sun (about 2.8 billion miles). At a maximum, Pluto is 49.3 AUs from the Sun (about 4.5 billion miles). 1 AU is equal to 93 million miles, the distance from Earth to the Sun.


How long is a year on Phobos?

Phobos is one of the moons of Mars. Mars averages 1.52 AU from the Sun, while the Earth averages 1 AU from the Sun. So at conjunction (when Mars is closest to Earth), Mars is about .5 AU away, and at opposition (Mars on the other side of the Sun from us) Mars is about 2.5 AU away. This is an over-simplification; Mars' orbit is more eccentric than Earth's, by about 9%. Sometimes Mars is a little closer than .52 AU at conjunction, and sometimes it is a little further away. But not by much.
