The Earth's Distance From the Sun
Although we may have learned at school that the earth is 93 million miles from the sun, the earth's distance from the sun varies according to the time of year, that is, where the earth is at in its orbit around the sun. The orbit is not a perfect circle, but rather an oval making the distance variable.
| Earth's Distance from the Sun |
|---|
| | Kilometers | Miles |
| Max distance | 152,000,000 km | 94,600,000 mi |
| Min distance | 147,000,000 km | 91,300,000 mi |
| Earth's Mass and Volume |
|---|
| Mass (weight) | 6 * 1021 metric tons | 6.6 * 1021 short tons |
| Volume | 10.84 *1011 km3 | 2.6 * 1011 mi3 |
