The Sun is one AU away, 93 million miles, or: if you travel by jet at 600 miles per hour 17 years and 8 months. If you choose to travel by rocket at 25,000 miles per hour it would take you 4 months. Perhaps you have found a way to travel at the speed of light if so you would be going at 186,000 mile per second and it would take 8.5 min. to reach the Sun. Goof luck!

It varies, because Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle (its an ellipse).
Closest distance - 147,098,074 km (0.9832898912 AU)
Farthest distance - 152,097,701 km (1.0167103335 AU).
