At it point of aphelion in its elliptical orbit Round the Sun. This happens on the 4th of July each year. At this moment the Sun - Earth distance is 152,102,196 kilometers.

When the earth is at the maximum distance from the sun it is called?

Aphelion.


What is the maximum and minimum distance between Earth and Jupiter?

The maximum distance between Earth and Jupiter is about 601 million kilometers when they are on opposite sides of the Sun (opposition). The minimum distance is around 588 million kilometers when they are on the same side of the Sun (conjunction).


Is it possible to have a solar eclipse when the moon and sun are both at their maximum distances?

Yes, but it wouldn't be a total solar eclipse. It would be an annular eclipse. The Sun is so far away that the difference between its size when it's at its maximum distance versus its minimum distance is small. The Moon, on the other hand, is about 30% smaller when at its maximum distance than it appears at its minimum distance. At its maximum distance, it appears smaller than the sun, and thus can't fully cover the Sun's disc.


What is the maximum distance between Earth and sun occurs in July?

The maximum distance between the Earth and the Sun occurs during a phenomenon called aphelion, which typically takes place around July 4 each year. At aphelion, the Earth is about 94.5 million miles (152.1 million kilometers) away from the Sun. This distance is slightly greater than the average distance of approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit.


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.

What is the Moon's maximum distance from the sun?

That would be the Earth's distance from the Sun (at aphelion) plus the Earth-Moon distance. The latter is insignificant.

What is the distance from earths moon to sun?

The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.


What is the Third planet to the sun?

The third planet to sun is our planet "Earth" which is at the minimum distance of 146 million kilometers and the maximum distance from the sun of 152 million kilometers while orbiting around the sun.


How many distance the earth to the sun?

The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a maximum distance of about 94,500,000 miles and a minimum distance of about 91,500,000 miles. The standard answer of an "average of 93 million miles" is normally close enough.

How far is the earths moon from mercury?

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


How far away is the sun in miles?

It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.


How far the Venus from the Earth?

Venus can be fairly close to Earth, or it can be on the other side of the Sun. To get the (approximate) range of distances:* Look up the distance from Sun to Earth. * Look up the distance from Sun to Venus. * Add both to get the maximum distance; subtract them to get the minimum distance.
