We happen to be the number 3 planet away from the sun. The distance about 93 million miles. This distance is also the basis for the "aU" or astronomical unit. Astronomers use the aU to measure distances that are much further. For example: 2 aU's would be 2 times the distance from the sun to the earth. It takes light rays from the sun about 8 minutes to get to earth. Tell that to your teacher and you just might get some brownie points.

Mercury is the closest to the sun, closely followed by Venus in 2nd. We are the 3rd planet from the sun, with Mars being the 4th

You should learn the planets of the solar system. Then you'll see where earth is in the list.
