How far is Earth from the Sun?",

Learn how far the Sun is from Earth with fun pictures. See what 1 AU means (93 million miles or 150 million km). Find out why sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. Discover that Earth’s path is a little oval, so the distance changes a bit. Learn that seasons happen because Earth is tilted, not because of distance. Imagine driving 60 mph to the Sun—it would take about 177 years! Space is big and amazing!
