Earth is not 4.3 million years old. It is 4.5 billion years old. It formed during the early times of the solar system as fragments of rock collided to gradually form planets. Radiomentric dating supports and age of between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years.

What is the difference in millions of miles in the planet mercury and the sun?

The planet Mercury is 28.5 million miles from the sun. The planet Earth is 93 million miles from the sun. The difference is 66.5 million miles, is this what you are asking? That is the closet the sun is to Mercury. Mercury's orbit is very elliptical. The furthest distance is 43 Million miles. The difference is 50 million miles. The only problem is: In the solar system all planets are orbiting the sun. Their orbits are such that the distance between planets is not the difference between their relative distances fro, the sun. At one time the earth and mercury could be on either the same side or completely opposite sides of the sun. More data is needed


What is the closest and furthest distance between the sun and mercury?

The closest distance between the Sun and Mercury, known as perihelion, is approximately 46 million kilometers (about 29 million miles). The furthest distance, called aphelion, is around 70 million kilometers (about 43 million miles). Mercury's elliptical orbit causes these significant variations in distance throughout its year.
