The distance varies some. However, the average is 93 million miles. The variation of distance is due to the fact that the Earth's orbit is elliptical, and the Sun is not in the center of the ellipse. The Earth is closest to the sun, a point called perihelion, around January 2. The Earth is at its greatest distance from the sun, a point called aphelion, around July 5.

The Earth's orbit around the Sun is an eliptical orbit, not a circular one. However, for the purpose of estimates, and rough calculations, most people use the distance of
93,000,000 Miles as the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
that distance is also called 1 AU.

about 150,000,000 km but it changes as the earth goes around the sun. Well unless you believe that the sun revolves around the earth.
