The average distance of a planet to the sun is the Semi-major axis. The furthest it gets is the Aphelion and the closest it gets is its Perihelion. The Sun to Earth Distance is also known as one Astronomical Unit (AU).
The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is one "astronomical unit" or "AU".
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
The nearest distance is called the perihelion and the furthest distance is called the aphelion (there is about 5 million km difference). The mean distance is called one astronomical unit.
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. By comparison, the sun is about 8 light minutes from Earth. This distance from Earth to the sun is called 1 astronomical unit or 1 AU.
The distance from the earth to the sun is called an astronomical unit. 1 Astronomical Unit = 4.90807087 × 1011 feet
I think you mean the distance from the Earth to the Sun. This distance is measured in Astronomical Units (AU)

The point in earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun is called "perihelion".

The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1 AU (149.597 m km / 93 m miles) whereas the distance between the Sun and Venus is at an average of 0.723 AU (108. 200 m km / 67.625 m miles). So it can be called 72% of the Sun-Earth distance.
