Earth orbits the sun at an average of 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870 kilometers). The distance from Earthto the sun is also called an astronomical unit, or AU, which is used to measure distances throughout the solar system. 

Answer 2

The average distance of the sun from the earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).

Explanation:

• The average distance between the sun and the earth is about 92,935,700 miles.
• Astronomers refer to this distance as an astronomical unit - light travels a distance of about eight and a half minutes.
• au Astronomical unit, a measure of distance, based on the average Sun-Earth distance.
• The International Astronomical Union defines AU as the distance from the Sun where a particle of negligible mass, in an indefinite orbit, will have an orbital period of 365.2568983 days (a Gaussian year).
• They are located in the center of the solar system.
• It is almost the perfect force of hot plasma, heated at its center by nuclear fusion reactions, radiating energy mainly as visible light, ultraviolet light and infrared radiation.
