Earth’s Distance from the Sun

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is known as an Astronomical Unit (AU).

• 
  

  It is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (about 93 million miles).

  
  
• 
  

  This distance varies slightly throughout the year because Earth’s orbit is elliptical—closest at perihelion (~147.1 million km) and farthest at aphelion (~152.1 million km).

  
  
• 
  

  The astronomical unit is a fundamental standard for measuring distances within our solar system.

  
  

Key facts:

• 
  

  Average distance ≈ 149.6 million km (1 AU)

  
  
• 
  

  Varies due to elliptical orbit

  
  
• 
  

  Basis for measuring planetary distances

  
  

Understanding Earth’s distance from the Sun is essential for studying seasons, climate, and orbital mechanics.

A statute mile is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is officially defined as 5,280 feet or 1,609.344 meters. The term "statute mile" distinguishes it from other types of miles, such as the nautical mile. The origin of the statute mile dates back to an Act of Parliament in England in 1593, which standardized the length of the mile. It is primarily used for measuring distances on land, such as in road signs, speed limits, and maps. While many countries have adopted the metric system, the statute mile remains in everyday use in a few countries. In contrast to the nautical mile, which is used for air and sea navigation, the statute mile is mainly applied in land-based contexts. It is also used to calculate speed in miles per hour (mph), especially for vehicles and road travel.
