What are the longest and shortest distances from the earth to the sun?
The longest distance from Earth to the Sun is about 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers) in July when Earth is farthest from the Sun (aphelion). The shortest distance is about 91.5 million miles (147 million kilometers) in January when Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion).
Why is the equator the longest line of latitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is located at the circunference of Earth. Earth is shaped like a sphere, and the circumference of a sphere is the longest distance around any part of the sphere. Therefore, this makes the equator the longest line of latitude.
How do you have longest day?
The change in the length of the day is due to the tilt of the Earth. You will have your longest day of the year when you live of the part of the Earth that is tilted towards the Sun.
When you are at one of the poles on earth how many miles is each degree?
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
Which planet has a distance from the sun that is about 150 percent of earth's distance from the sun?
Venus has an average distance from the Sun that is about 108% of Earth's distance. This makes Venus the planet closest to having a distance from the Sun that is 150% of Earth's distance.
Which is the longest distance from sun to earth?
Aphelion

Is the longest distance from the earth?
The longest distance from Earth is to the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface. Beyond the ISS, the farthest man-made object from Earth is the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which is currently over 14 billion miles away.
What is the longest distance traveled by a human being?
The farthest distance from earth a human being has traveled is 401,056 km, to the moon.
If a ball is thrown in space and on earth which ball will travel the greatest distance?
Naturally the ball in space will travel the longest distance as long as it does not bump into something along the way. Gravity on earth will cause the ball thrown to fall back to earth.
What is distance between Northampton and London?
Google Earth quotes the distance at 67.2 miles - taking about 1 hour 23 minutes to drive.
What is the longest distance from one place to another?
The longest possible distance from one place to another on the surface of the earth is half of the earth's circumference.(If it were any further, you could go around the other way, which would be shorter.)Since the earth bulges slightly around the equator, the equator has the greatest circumference of any circle on the earth. The equatorial diameter is 7,926 miles (12,756 km) so the circumference at the equator is (7,926 x pi) = 24,900 miles (40,074 km).The longest possible distance between one place and another on the earth is 12,450 miles (20,037 km).
Why is the equator the longest line of latitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is located at the circunference of Earth. Earth is shaped like a sphere, and the circumference of a sphere is the longest distance around any part of the sphere. Therefore, this makes the equator the longest line of latitude.
What is distance from London heathrow to Canterbury kent?
According to Google Earth - roughly 90 miles by road.
In what area of earth can you move the greatest distance in the least amount of time?
Anywhere there is jet air travel available.
Which atmospheric layer is the longest distance from Earth?
The exosphere is the atmospheric layer that is the furthest from Earth's surface. It extends from about 500 km to 10,000 km above sea level.
What is the straight distance from Munich to London?
The straight-line distance is 571 miles (919 km). This is the true straight line distance which accounts for the curvature of the earth, NOT the straight line drawn on a map.
