Earth is approximately 0.00001581 light-years away from the Sun. In more familiar terms, this distance is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers, which is known as one astronomical unit (AU). Light from the Sun takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth.
Approx 59 ly.
The earth is 149.6 million km from the sun.
you can fit 1million planets the size of earth in the sun
Yes, 1 light year (ly) is significantly larger than 1 astronomical unit (au). 1 ly is the distance that light travels in one year, approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers, while 1 au is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 149.6 million kilometers.
Gamma Cygni, also known as Sadr, is approximately 1,800 light-years away from Earth.
433 ± 6 ly
Approximately 26,000 light years.
Approx 59 ly.
The sun is estimated to be 24,900 ± 1,000 ly from the galactic centre.
Earth is the third planet from Sol (the sun).
The distance of planet earth from the sun is an average of about 100 times the sun's diameter.
The Stellarium planetarium program tells me that it is 214 LY to Matar.
Both measurements used for distance in space are LY (Light Years) and AU (Astronomical Unit) Respectively the measurement LY measures distance in the speed of light and our cycle of 1 year orbit, so something that is 1 LY away works like this - the light takes one earth year to reach that us from that object (usually a Sun/Star) therefore if we were to travel at the speed of light it would take us one year to reach our destination AU is measures distance by using the earth and the sun - and the basis of this is that the earth from the sun is 1 Astronomical Unit. This is mostly used to calculate distance in our own solar system, objects far out of our immediate system are measured mostly using LY
Earth orbited the sun about ...... times a year!
There are 2 planets closer to the Sun from the Earth
On average, the Earth is 149,597,890km from the sun.
