Question

What is the distance from earth to sun write your formula also that how you came to know this answer who give this answer first i will give him brilliant . i know this answer but i want to see how much you know

Answer 1

Aristarchus suggested that the ratio of the Sun's and the Moon's distances from Earth could be obtained via measuring the lunar elongation β at half moon and using the cosine formula: cos β=rM/rS. However, because the Sun is much farther away from Earth than the Moon, the elongation β at half moon is very close to 90°.

The sun is approximately 152.09 million km  away from earth.

Earth orbits the sun 100,000 times closer than the Oort Cloud, at an average of 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870 km). The distance from Earth to the sun is called an astronomical unit, or AU, which is used to measure distances throughout the solar system.

Answer 2

Method of Calculation -

Earth orbits the sun 100,000 times closer than the Oort Cloud, at an average of 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870 km). The distance from Earth to the sun is called an astronomical unit, or AU, which is used to measure distances throughout the solar system. Jupiter, for example, is 5.2 AU from the sun.

Distance from Earth to Sun -
