0.387 is the average distance from the Sun to Mercury in AU. Note: AU=astronomical unit
Mercury averages around this distance from the sun.
The average distance between Earth and Mercury is 0.62 au. Subtract the Venus to Earth distance (0.27 au). This gives the distance between Mercury and Venus (on average): 0.35 au (astronomical units). Comment: that's not really the average distance it's the smallest distance.
In our solar system, the planets Mercury and Venus orbit at a distance less than 1 AU. Since the Earth orbits at an "average" distance of one astronomical unit, you might also argue that Earth, owing to orbital eccentricity, sometimes is closer to the Sun than one AU.
At its furthest (aphelion) 0.467 AU and at its nearest (perihelion) 0.307 AU.

Mercury averages around this distance from the sun.
On the average, one. The astronomical unit is the distance from the sun to the earth. Since Mercury is inside earth's orbit and the distance between Earth and Mercury can vary by the full width of Mercury's orbit around the sun, the average is the distance between the Earth and the sun.
About 92 AU on average.
No. At Aphelion (furthest distance) it is 69,816,900 km or 0.467 AU from the sun. At perihelion (nearest) it is 46,001,200 km or 0.387 AU from the sun.
One AU
The average distance between Earth and Mercury is 0.62 au. Subtract the Venus to Earth distance (0.27 au). This gives the distance between Mercury and Venus (on average): 0.35 au (astronomical units). Comment: that's not really the average distance it's the smallest distance.
Mars is at an average distance of 1.13 AU from Mercury. This is about 105,040,062 miles. Distance is given in AU or astronomical units which represents the distance from the sun to Earth. One AU is equal to 149,598,000 kilometers or 92,955,807 miles.
In our solar system, the planets Mercury and Venus orbit at a distance less than 1 AU. Since the Earth orbits at an "average" distance of one astronomical unit, you might also argue that Earth, owing to orbital eccentricity, sometimes is closer to the Sun than one AU.
