Depending on their orbital locations, Uranus will be between 2.59 and 3.16 billion kilometers from Earth.

--- The average distance from the Sun for Uranus is 2,876,679,082 kilometers

--- The average distance from the Sun for Earth is 149,597,887 kilometers.

The average distance between the two is NOT the difference of 2,727,081,195 kilometers, but rather more closely approximated as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, or 2.88 billion km. The reason is that half of the time Earth and Uranus are on oppositesides of the Sun from each other, where the distance between them is maximized. Only about once a year are both planets "lined up" on the same side of the sun where the distance is minimized.
