What is the distance of pluto to earth in AU?

Answer 1

Nova Adams

39.7 Astronomical Units.

1 AU is #1.49 x 10^8# km

The distance between Pluto and the Sun in Km is 5.92 x #10^9# km

thus,

5.92 x #10^9# / 1.49 x #10^8#

39.73 AU is Pluto's distance from us.

The distance from Pluto to Earth varies depending on their positions in their orbits. On average, it's about 39.5 astronomical units (AU), but it can vary from about 29.7 AU to 49.3 AU due to the elliptical shape of both Pluto's and Earth's orbits.
