The distance of Earth from Sun does not remain constant.
Also, the Earth's orbit around the sun is not circular, but elliptical This causes the Earth's distance from the sun to vary yearly.
On January 3rd, the Earth is closest to the sun (147.5 million kilometers or 91.6522 million miles), this is called perihelion, .
The Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th (152 million kilometers or 94.5 million miles) this is called aphelion.
The average distance of the Earth from the sun over a one year period is 150 million kilometers or 93.2056 million miles.

From where? The answers I saw assumed you meant from earth but it's 5 913 520 000 KM to the sun from Pluto.
You should be specific.
Oh and which sun? Did you mean the one we orbit or another star? It's about 77 light years from Regulus (the heart of constellation Leo) to Earth.

93,000,000 millions miles away, its heat and light takes 8 minutes to reach us. So if the sun blew up we would not feel it or see it for eight minutes.
