About 19 AU on average, where Jupiter is 5 AU away from the Sun and Saturn is 10 AU away from the Sun, It is better to quote distances of this size in AUs as it is easier to grasp,
Perihelion 2,735,555,035 km or 18.286 AU. Aphelion 3,006,389,405 km or 20.096 AU
The figure of 2.87 billion kms quoted above is the semi-major axis of Uranus' orbit.
When Uranus was discovered in 1781 its distance being almost exactly that predicted by the Titius-Bode Law, published in 1776 caused Johann Bode, the director of the Berlin Observatiory to call for a search for the "Missing Planet" predicted by the Law to lie between Mars and Jupiter. And 20 years later, in 1801 Ceres was found in almost exactly the position predicted by the T-B law.
However the law fall into disrepute when Neptune was discovered and it was not where the T-B Law suggested it should be.
But in the pioneering days of 1781, the distance to Uranus was a cause of great intellectual excitement as strongly suggesting the existence of a planet between Mars and Jupiter, i.e. one was there, just waiting to be discovered.

Is this a homework assignment? You've been asking the distance to every planet in the solar system. You could easily look these up on Google, Wikipedia, or any of the myriad astronomy sites out there. Why are you asking people on Yahoo! Answers? Are you hoping for something other than what's already out there as an answer?

It depends on what time of the Uranian year it is, like the earth uranis has an eliptical orbit so it has a near point and a far point and these distances are vastly different but the average distance is 1.7 billion miles.

About 93 million miles. Or did you mean the planet?

I don't like Uranus. It's crusty.
