The distance of each planet from the sun varies. On average, the distances are as follows: Mercury: 57 million km Venus: 108 million km Earth: 150 million km Mars: 228 million km Jupiter: 778 million km Saturn: 1.4 billion km Uranus: 2.8 billion km Neptune: 4.5 billion km


How long would it take to get to mercury if traveling at a speed of 100000 km per hr?

That would depend on where Earth and Mercury were on their particular orbits of the Sun. Assuming they were at their closest conjunction as Mercury is 57.91 million km from the Sun and Earth is 149.6 million km from the Sun, the distance between them will be 91.69 km. So at a speed of 1 million km/hour it would take you 91.69 hours to reach Mercury From Earth.


How much farther is the sun from Earth if Mercury is 58 million kilometers from the sun?

If you know how far the sun is from Earth, which is 150 million kilometers, you can subtract the distance Mercury is from the sun from 150 million km to find how much farther Earth is from the sun. 150 - 58 = 92 million km.

What is the minimum distance from earth to mercury?

Mercury is an average distance of 48 million miles (77 million km) from Earth.The distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth; at its furthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles). As I write this (13 October 2007), the distance is nearer to the lower end of the range, as Mercury will be at inferior conjunction in just ten days' time.Answer:Mercury is about 57 million miles from Earth, at the closest point in its orbit.In Astronomical Units (AU).0.61290107 AU.48 million miles on average
