This website shows relative distances from the sun. You can then calculate their distances from each other by using (Farther planet's distance)-(closer planet's distance).

It seems you might be making reference to Bode's Law, which was formulated in the 1700's as a way of predicting where then unknown planets could be found. Indeed when Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, he did so by using Bode's Law to predict its position. Interestingly, The "planet" that was predicted at Bode's Law position #4 1/2 was eventually discovered--the asteroid Ceres, The remainder of the large quantity of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter also approximate position 4 1/2. Of course, Neptune was not found at Bode's position #8. For all bodies in the Solar System closer to the sun than Neptune however, Bode's Law does provide a handy yardstick.You can check it out.
