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.


Sun’s Radius


The radius of the Sun is the distance from its center to its surface (photosphere).



  • It is approximately 696,340 kilometers (about 432,685 miles).



  • The Sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, and this radius defines its visible "surface."



  • The Sun’s radius is about 109 times the radius of Earth.



Key facts:



  • Sun’s radius ≈ 696,340 km



  • Defines the size of the Sun’s visible surface



  • Critical for understanding solar structure and scale



Knowing the Sun’s radius helps astronomers model solar phenomena and compare the Sun with other stars.
