The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is about 92,935,700 miles. Astronomers refer to this distance as one astronomical unit—the distance light travels in about eight and a half minutes.
Earth's orbit is actually not perfectly circular; the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies slightly over the course of the year. This does not, however, account for seasons; the angle of the Earth's axis relative to the sun is responsible for that.
