What is the actual distance of each planet from the sun

Question

What is the actual distance of each planet from the sun

Answer 1

it is not a constant distance they are in ususlly elliptical orbits and lots of things can and do change the distances

Answer 2

this is exactly what you want.

Answer 3

What do you mean by actual, just look it up on google.com.  

Answer 4

If you are American, you'd probably prefer the units to be in miles:

Mercury: 36 million miles

Venus: 67.2 million miles

Earth: 93 million miles

Mars: 141.6 million miles

Jupiter: 483.6 million miles

Saturn: 886.7 million miles

Uranus: 1,784.0 million miles

Neptune: 2,794.4 million miles

If you are anything other than American, you'd probably prefer it in kilometers:

Mercury: 57.9 million km

Venus: 108.2 million km

Earth: 149.6 million km

Mars: 227.9 million km

Jupiter: 778.3 million km

Saturn: 1,427.0 million km

Uranus: 2,871.0 million km

Neptune: 4,497.1 million km

Answer 5

It varies, since all the planets have an elliptical orbit. There is an average, and I'm sure you can Google it.

Answer 6

every planet is different.....look it up!  No one is going to help you!

Answer 7

alternatively,

mercury --- 3 1/8 light minutes.

venus ------ 5 3/4 light minutes

earth ------- 8 light minutes

mars ------ 12 light minutes

jupiter ----- 42 light minutes

saturn -----  1 hour 16 light minutes

uranus -----  2 hours, 34 light minutes

neptune ----  4 light hours.

Answer 8

You couldn't Google that?

Answer 9

Well, my model shows them starting at about 2 inches and going all the way out to about 20 inches.

Answer 10

Well it depends on what planet ur at. But mostly measuring the distance in a solar system you would use an AU (astronomical unit) or if you were measuring the whole universe you would use light years.

I hope this helps if ur looking for more pacific answers just message me.

Answer 12

they all slightly vary, due to the fact that their orbits are not quite "perfect" circles, but slightly elliptical.  but on average...

in AU:

mercury= 0.39

venus =  0.72

earth = 1.00

mars = 1.52

jupiter = 5.20

saturn = 9.54

uranus = 19.18

neptune = 30.06

if, for some odd reason, you wish to get these answers in miles, just multiply by 93 million.  

but it is very rare for these to be "actual" at any given point in time, since these are approximations and averages.
