The exact distance between Earth and the Sun varies with its position in its orbit, which is elliptical. The average distance (the mean distance) between the Earth and the Sun is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles).

It's a variable, although the earth spins around the sun, the distance is not 100% accurate or the same all the time.
That is why you see that it is described as an AVERAGE distance of 92900000 miles (149476000 kilometers)

The solar wind extends out far beyond earth's orbit, that puts us inside the sun's atmosphere.

8.3 min = 8.3*60 secs = 498 seconds
D = V*T
D = 3*10^8m/s * 498s / 1000m/km = 149,400,000 km
