The orbits are elliptical, and each planet therefore has a perihelion (nearest point to the Sun) and an aphelion (farthest distance from the Sun).
As follows (measured in AUs, where 1 Astronomical Unit = 93 million miles, as this makes comparisons easier to visualise):
Mercury: Perihelion: 0.31 AU. Aphelion: 0.47 AU.
Venus: Perihelion: 0.72 AU. Aphelion: 0.73 AU.
Earth: Perihelion: 0.98 AU, Aphelion: 1.02 AU,
Mars: Perihelion: 1.38 AU, Aphelion: 1.66 AU.
Jupiter: Perihelion: 4.95 AU. Aphelion: 5.46 AU.
Saturn: Perihelion: 9.02 AU. Aphelion: 10.05 AU.
Uranus: Perihelion: 18.29 AU, Aphelion: 20.09 AU
Neptune: Perihelion: 29.81 AU, Aphelion: 30.33 AU.
Dwarf Planets:
Ceres: Perihelion: 2.54 AU. Aphelion: 2.98 AU.
Pluto: Perihelion: 29.66 AU. Aphelion: 49.31 AU
Eris: Perihelion: 37.77 AU. Aphelion: 97.56 AU

the first answer may be only the average distances. Planets orbit as in an ellipse (a kind of oval shape)
