Nova Adams

#92955778.49 mi#

The distance between the sun and earth in is #1# #AU#,

#1# #AU# #=# #149597870.66# #km#

In #1# #km# there is #0.621371# miles.

#149597870.66# #km# =#(0.621371 mi)/(1km#

#149597870.66# #cancelkcancelm# =#(0.621371 mi)/(1cancelkcancelm#

#= 92955778.49 mi#

Between #91# and #94.5# million miles. Currently about #91.5# million miles.

It varies between about #91# million miles in early January and #94.5# million miles in early July.

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1 A.U., which is about #93# million miles, but the Earth's orbit is more-or-less elliptical.
