One AU (astronomical unit).
Handy isn't it.
The currently accepted value of the AU is 149 597 870 691 ± 30 metres (about 150 million kilometres or 93 million miles).

8.31 minutes at the speed of light, and, as others have said, the accepted distance is approximately 93,000,000 miles, though that measure is a presumptive mean distance, because the sun has no actual "surface" to measure from, and because the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the sun (not a perfect circle, so the distance between the sun and Earth is not a constant; the Earth is perpetually either getting closer to the sun or moving further from it, but is never the same actual distance from the sun two days in a row)

The earth's orbit of the sun is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse (see Wikipedia link below for an explanation). At its closest point, the earth is 146 million km (91 million miles) away from the sun. At the farthest part of its ellipse, the earth is 152 million km (94.5 million miles) away from the sun. The average distance is about 150 million km (93.2 million miles).

The Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 93,000,000 miles. In other words, the Sun is the big, hot, yellow thing in the center, and the Earth makes a circle around it every year and the radius of that circle is 93,000,000 miles.

93,000,000 miles. The time it takes for light from the sun to reach earth is about 8 minutes, traveling at 186,000 miles/second.

that's an city fantasy which began with an digital mail which grew to become form of genuinely in 2003, that Mars could be very close and comfortable. It additionally had a line in it which suggested that Mars, IN A 75x TELESCOPE, could look as super via actuality the Moon with the bare eye. someplace alongside the way, the "with a telescope" bit disappeared. August 2003 have been given right here and went, and an excellent form of persons had wonderful perspectives of Mars by applying way of telescopes presented by applying potential of newbie astronomers international huge. Then the digital mail resurfaced in 2004, at the same time as Mars grew to become on the a procedures portion of the image voltaic. although in 2005, at the same time as Mars grew to become in opposition in October, now no longer August, and lots smaller. although in 2006, at the same time as Mars grew to become decrease back on the a procedures portion of the image voltaic. although in 2007, at the same time as opposition grew to become in December, and Mars smaller although. Now, you have been fooled by applying potential of this fake digital mail in 2009! Mars is decrease back on the a procedures portion of the image voltaic. at the same time as will human beings study that astronomical activities are estimated for a undeniable date, which has quite now no longer something to do with Earth years, and you will't in basic terms save recycling an same prediction and changing the 12 months? each and each factor on Mars happens in a 26 month cycle: August 2003, October 2005, December 2007, January 2010, and so on. the information: in August 2009, Mars could be very a procedures some distance flung from the Earth. even at the same time because it next gets close, in January 2010, it is going to although be 2 cases as a procedures away via fact it grew to become in August 2003. or possibly then, it grew to become in uncomplicated words a million/seventy 5 the size of the Moon. The "important white celeb next to the moon" grew to become the planet Jupiter. The Moon has now continued in its orbit and is nowhere close to to Jupiter (or Mars). it extremely is _not_ the planet Mars. it extremely is _not_ getting any bigger: like each and each factor indoors the sky distinctive than the image voltaic and Moon, it extremely is somewhat resource of light to the bare eye. do now no longer exaggerate! Mars is at recent a sprint insignificant portion of light seen in basic terms until now daybreak, approximately 0.5 way between Venus and the Pleiades celeb cluster.
