    The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 150 million km. Keep in mind that this is just an average. In reality, the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is elliptical. This means that it follows the path of an ellipse around the Sun, and not a perfect circle.


    150 million km = 93,205,678.835 miles

    For interest it takes 8 mins. for the sunlight to reach us at dawn, travelling at 186,000,000 miles per second.
