What's the distance from the earth to the sun?

Answer 1

A parsec is defined as the distance from the Sun which would result in a parallax of 1 second of arc as seen from Earth.
Since distances of nearby objects can be determined directly using parallax observations combined with elementary geometry, the parsec was historically used to express the distances of astronomical objects from the Earth. This tendency has been carried over to some extent so that distances to objects are still often expressed in units of parsecs instead of light-years. A unit of astronomical length based on the distance from Earth at which stellar parallax is one second of arc and equal to 3.258 light-years, 3.086 × 1013 kilometers, or 1.918 × 1013 miles.

If you are asking for a linear measurement then there are several factors you need to determine. Thew following should answer your question.
Average Distance from Earth
Metric: 384,400 km
English: 238,855 miles
Scientific Notation: 3.84400 x 105 km (0.00257 A.U.)
By Comparison: 0.00257 x Earth's Distance from the Sun

Perigee (closest)
Metric: 363,300 km
English: 225,700 miles
Scientific Notation: 3.633 x 105 km (0.00243 A.U.)
By Comparison: 0.00247 x Earth's Distance from the Sun


Apogee (farthest)
Metric: 405,500 km
English: 252,000 miles
Scientific Notation: 4.055 x 105 km (0.00271 A.U.)
By Comparison: 0.00267 x Earth's Distance from the Sun

Answer 2

The orbit of the Earth around the sun is called Earth revolution. This celestial motion takes 365 1/4 days to complete one cycle. Further, the Earth's orbit around the sun is not circular, but elliptical (see Figure 6h-1). An elliptical orbit causes the Earth's distance from the sun to vary annually. However, this phenomenon does not cause the seasons! This annual variation in the distance from the sun does influence the amount of solar radiation intercepted by the Earth by approximately 6 %. On January 3rd, perihelion, the Earth is closest to the sun (147.5 million kilometers). The Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th, or aphelion. The average distance of the Earth from the sun over a one year period is 150 million kilometers.

Answer 3

How far does light travel in one second ? 300 000 kilometers, which equals seven times around the Earth.

Let's call this distance one light second. We can use this as a ruler to measure distances in space. Beyond the Sun and its planets we need a longer ruler, which is the distance light travels in one year. This is called a light year - it is 32 million times longer than a light second.

How far is the Earth from the Sun ? 500 light seconds or 8 light minutes.
