about the same size as the sun, it's average in many ways.\nthe diameter of the sun is about 860,000 miles.

The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,890 km. Therefore in one year the Earth travels a distance of 2*Pi*(149,597,890)km. This means that the velocity is about: \n\nvelocity=2*Pi*(149,597,890)km/ year\n\nand if we convert that to more meaningful units (knowing there is 365 days in a year, and 24 hours per day) we get: \n\nvelocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour) \n\nSo the Earth moves at about 100,000 km/h around the Sun (which is 1000 times faster than the speeds we go at on a highway!)

The distance to the sun can be computed by a variety of techniques.  Trigonometry and parallax measurements were used by ancient greek and arab astronomers to come up with pretty good estimates for the distances to the sun, moon, and other planets.\n\nThe sun's diameter at its equator is about 865,000 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.\n\nThe moon's diameter at its equator is about 2,160 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,900 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the diameters is 865000 / 2160 or about 400.  The ratio of distances is 93,000,000 / 238,900 or about 390.  So the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon, but it's also about 400 times farther away - so the sun and moon appear about the same size in the sky.\n\nThe moon's orbit around the earth isn't a circle, and the lunar distance varies from about 220,000 miles to about 252,000 miles.  When it is close to the earth, the moon appears slightly larger than the sun.  When it is in the further part of it's orbit, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun.  If an eclipse occurs when the moon is furthest from earth, the moon's disk can't completely cover the sun.  The result is an "annular" eclipse.\n\nIncidentally, the moon gets slightly farther away from the earth every year.  Eventually, in the distant future, it will be too far away to produce a total eclipse of the sun.

The moon's distance from the Earth is on average, 384400 km. Converted to inches that comes out to 15,133,858,267.65 inches (a little over 15 billion)\nHowever, due to an eliptical orbit, the moons distance varies from 363,258 km at its nearest point to 405,542 km at its farthest point. Converted that comes out to 14,301,496,062.93 inches at its nearest point to 15,966,220,472.37 inches at its farthest.\nSo, yes, the moon is about 15 billion inches away.  However, at any given time, it can vary anywhere from 14 billion to almost 16 billion inches from the Earth\nBest Wishes

365.256366 Earth days around the Sun, if that's what you mean. Or 24 hours around its axis.

Hi, \n\nThe sun's orbit is 365.4 days. The actual length changes very little, but with a period of roughly 41,000 years.\n\nHope that helps, \nMatt

The light from the sun goes about 186,000 miles in a second in a vacuum, which is a bit more than nine circuits of the earth.\n\n- - - -  - - - - - \n\nkirchwey caught me in another error:\n\nI did not previously bother to look up the circumference of the earth, but just winged it. Unfortunately, I misremembered/underestimated the earth's circumference by about 25%. \n\nThe circumference of the earth at the equator is about 24,901.55 miles. The speed of light in a vacuum is roughtly 186,282.397 miles per second, so the distance light travels in one second is equivalent to 7.480755 circuits around the earth at ground level at the equator, ignoring mountains and other orographic features.

The distance between the earth and the sun is not constant.  The earth's\norbit around the sun is nearly circular, but not perfectly so.  The earth\nis actually closest to the Sun in the northern hemisphere winter, but the average distance between the earth and the sun is 93,000,000 miles.

The first spacecraft to visit the planet Pluto lifted off from Earth in January of 2006 and is expected to reach Pluto on July 14, 2015.  Pluto is so far from Earth that not even the Hubble Space telescope is able to take clear pictures of it.  Pluto's distance from the sun varies between 30 AU and 49 AU.  One AU is the distance between the Earth and the sun.  Pluto is so distant that man will very likely not visit for many 100's of years yet to come as we do not possess the technology to make the voyage to Pluto within an acceptable period of time.  Compare this to the distance between Earth and Mars which is only 0.37 AU (35 million miles).

At that rate, it'd take about 2 trillion years for the earth to reach the distance from the sun where Venus is.  The solar system is only about 4 or 5 billion years old.  Answer: Venus was almost certainly never where we are.

Mean distance from earth149.6×10^6 km or (92.95×10^6 mi)\nIt would take about 8.31 minutes at the speed of light to go from earth to sun.

As far as planets go, Mercury.  All the time.  No planet ever gets closer.  I'm not quite sure what these folks are trying to pull with "pluto" but the closest it ever gets to the sun is still over 26 times farther away than the earth's orbit.\n\nComets and asteroids can get really close to the sun, in fact there is a class of comets that we call "sungrazers" they actually fall into the sun and never return.

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometres (238,857 miles).

The moon's distance from earth is about 240,000 miles.  The orbit is roughly circular (only 5% eccentricity), so 2π*240,000 = 1.5 million miles is the circumference.  The moon travels this distance in 29.5 days, so its speed is about 51,000 miles per day or about 2100 miles per hour.

According to NASA, Earth is approximately 384,400 km from Earth.  1 km = 100,000 cm, so multiply 384,400 X 100,000 to get your answer.

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometres (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 km (2,160 miles).
