About 93 million miles. This is refered to by scientists as one AU, or Astronomical Unit, and is used to measure short distances, such as the distance of other planets to the sun. This give us an idea of their distance relative to ours.

to respond to this you're able to understand the place we are. Are we an observer in the international or are we on the sunshine ray shifting in the direction of earth. each and every thing is relative! If we are on gentle ray then it takes 0 time to attain the earth. To a guy sitting on the sunshine ray (and shifting on the fee of sunshine) the holiday could be on the spot (0 time). To an observer on earth, the sunshine ray could take a couple of minutes to get to earth.
