Mercury is 31 million miles from the Sun. (1/3 AU)
Venus is 31 million miles from Mercury. (1/3 AU)
Earth is 31 million miles from Venus. (1/3 AU)
Mars is 46,500,000 miles from Earth. (1/2 AU)
Jupiter is 325,500,000 from Mars. (3 1/2 AU)
Saturn is 372 million miles from Jupiter. (4 AU)
Uranus is 930 million miles from Saturn. (10 AU)
Neptune is 930 million miles from Uranus. (10 AU)
Pluto is 930 million miles from Neptune. (10 AU)

These are approximate numbers. These aren't the exact distances but they're pretty close.

I believe there was this one thing to easily remember it by, that the distance is doubled with every planet. Or somewhat.

So Venus should be double the distance between the Sun and Mercury, and Earth would be double the distance between Venus and the Sun, and Mars double the distance between Earth and the Sun, and so on...

So basically that means Venus is as far away from Mercury as Mercury is from the Sun, Earth as far from Venus as Venus is from the Sun, and so on...

You get the point.

I suggest you consult the wikipedia articles for each planet. This will give you mean distance from the sun for each one.
