The actual distance varies as the earth follows an elliptical orbit around the sun. However, the Astronomical Unit (AU) is defined as a unit of measuring distance in space (much smaller than light years). The AU is the average distance between the earth and the sun and is equal to 149,597,870,700 meters.

It is common to refer to it as 150 million Kilometers.

The distance from the sun to the Earth is about 150 million kilometers. To convert this to meters, we multiply by 1000 to get 150 billion meters.


Is earth accelerating right now?

Yes. When it moves around the Sun, there is circular acceleration, that can be calculated via the formula a = v2 / r. Velocity should be converted to meters / second, radius (of the orbit) to meters - in this case, the result is in meters per second squared.Yes.
