The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 149,590,787 km or 92,951,640 mi. This distance is called an Astronomical Unit (AU). The orbit of the Earth deviates a bit from a circle, so the distance between the Earth and the Sun isn't always the same. The Earth is closest to the Sun (in the perihelion of the Earth's orbit) around 4 January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere of the Earth and summer in the southern hemisphere, and is furthest from the Sun (in the aphelion of the Earth's orbit) around 4 July, when it is summer in the north and winter in the south.
The difference between the distances on 4 January and 4 July is about 3 percent, which corresponds to about 5 million km or 3 million mi.

the right distance between Earth and the solar varies with its place in its orbit, it fairly is elliptical. the common distance (the mean distance) between the Earth and the solar is approximately one hundred fifty million kilometers (ninety 3 million miles). the common distance from the Earth to the solar is termed a million astronomical unit (or AU). that's regular as 149,?597,?870.7 kilometers (ninety two,955,887.6 miles). •Aphelion (while the Earth is the farthest from the solar) happens around the 1st week of July. the gap is approximately 152 million km (ninety 4.4 million miles). •Perihelion (while the Earth is closest to the solar) happens interior the 1st week of January. the gap is approximately 147 million km (ninety one.3 million miles).

Between 140 and 150 as we measure from the corona not the mass we don't know exactly. 92 and 93 million miles. We are moving 1cm away from the sun each year.
