How far away is the sun?
Answers:
On average 149.6 million kilometres (92.95 million miles). This is referred to by astronomers as 1 Astronomical Unit (AU). It takes light (travelling at 300 000 kilometres per second / 186 000 miles per second) 8.31 minutes on average to reach Earth from the sun.
Earth follows an elliptical orbit around the sun, so its distance may be anything between 147 and 152 million kilometres (91.3-94.5 million miles) depending on the time of year.
To put this distance into an entirely stupid context, if you could drive there at a steady 60 miles per hour it would take you over 176 years to get there.
