Right now we're at Aphelion, or close to it - the farthest Earth gets from the sun - about 94,280,000 miles. At Perihelion, we're about 91,500,000 miles, and on average, 92,934,000 miles.
Sorry I can't be more exact.

8 light minutes or 500 light seconds. The distance that light takes to travel in a second is 3 X 10 raised to 8 meters(approx).
So it takes for light from sun to reach earth should travel at least 500 X 300,000,000 = 150,000,000,000 meters or 150,000,000 k.m. There we go !

93 million miles. Science calls this 1 astronomical unit, or AU, and uses this term for measuring space distances. For example, Pluto is 39.5 AU's from the sun, or 93 million miles 39.5 times.

Exact values are moonshine. It is about 149 million-km according to science. But I do not believe it to be true.
