Earth's distance from sun The Earth's average distance from the Sun, known as an astronomical unit (AU), is approximately 149.6 million kilometers or about 93 million miles.
This distance represents the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, which can vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit. The Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle but an ellipse, so the distance varies between about 147.1 million kilometers (91.4 million miles) at perihelion (closest approach) and about 152.1 million kilometers (94.5 million miles) at aphelion (farthest point).
The Earth's distance from the Sun is crucial for understanding solar radiation, climate patterns, and the length of seasons. It provides a baseline measurement used in astronomy and space science to define distances within our solar system and beyond.
Astronomical Units An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.
The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
