Anything about 93 million miles, or close to 150 million km., long.
One "Astronomical Unit" is (more or less) the average distance between the Sun and Earth.
The minimum distance between the Earth and the Sun occurs during perihelion, which is when the Earth is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit. This usually happens around January 3rd of each year.
One Astronomical Unit is the shorthand name that astronomers gave to the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth is; it averages about 108,000,000 kilometers, or about 0.72 AU, from the Sun.
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.
The point in earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun is called "perihelion".

Equal to what? The Earth ? never.
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
An Astronomical Unit is a unit of measurement roughly equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun; about 150 Million Kilometres.
One Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
1 Astronomical Unit or 1AU is the average distance between the Sun and the Earth. It is approximately 149,598,000 km.
