the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.


How far is Uranus planet from the Earth?

Because planets tend to move in an elliptical orbit, their distance from Earth changes. The minimum distance from Earth to the planet Uranus is 2.57 billion kilometres, or 1.6 billion miles. The maximum distance is 3.157 billion kilometres.


Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?

The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.


What is neighboring planets to Jupiter?

The two planets that have orbits that neighbor Jupiter's are Saturn and Mars. The maximum distance of Mars form the Sun is 249,209,300 km The maximum distance of Jupiter form the Sun is 816,520,800 km The maximum distance of Saturn from the Sun is 1,513,325,783 km From this you can work out the distance they would be apart if they were all at their maximum distance and all lined up on the same side of the Sun. However, remember the planets all go round the Sun and at any one time the distance between Mars, and Jupiter or Jupiter and Saturn will depend where they are in relation to each other on their orbits. In some cases they could be on either side of the Sun.


What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?

The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.

Unfortunately there is no simple answer to that. The distance is constantly changing as the planets move in their orbits.

How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?

Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.


Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?

Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.
