about the same size as the sun, it's average in many ways.\nthe diameter of the sun is about 860,000 miles.

hold on here, this isnt a short answer - \n    the Earth is on average 92Million miles from the sun, times pi for the circumforance and its roughly 290Million miles around.  divided by 365 for the number of days, the earth travels some 790,000 miles on one day, ya thats high on the odometer.  distance in one day divided by 24 hours comes to 33,000 MPH, now i did this on my computer but it does seem right, \n\nNow part 2, hang on here, big numbers ahead, the Solar System wihich Earth belongs to is roughly 26,000 Lightyears from the galactic core, (which has a Supermassive Black hole as heavy as 6 Trillion suns).  it take a quarter of a Billion years (250,000,000) for our solor system to complete one revolution around the galaxy. The circumferance could be some 80,000 Lightyears,  though i am not sure how to calculate the speed of the solar system.

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers).\nBut, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). This the earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like).

The distance between the earth and the sun.  It's like a landmark when you're driving.  You can see the white house as a little tiny dot on the horizon and as you get closer it gets bigger.

The distance that the moon is from the earth depends on the location of the moon during the lunar calendar.\n\nWhen it is closest to the earth, the moon is 363,300 km from the earth (roughly 225,744.154 miles, 1.19192913 × 109 feet)\nWhen the moon is the farthest away, it is 405,500 km from the earth (roughly 251,966.018 miles, 1.33038058 × 10^9 feet)\nOn average, the distance from the earth to the moon is 384,400 km (roughly 238,855.086 miles, 1.26115486 × 10^9 feet)\n\nMeasurements reveal that the Moon's distance to the Earth increases by 38 mm per year!

This website shows relative distances from the sun. You can then calculate their distances from each other by using (Farther planet's distance)-(closer planet's distance).\n\nhttp://www.idahoptv.org/ntti/nttilessons/lessons2000/lau4.html

About 93 million miles away from the sun, give or take...about the same as earth, since the moon orbits the earth.\n\nIf you mean, what is the APPARENT position of the moon in relation to the sun, as seen from earth, it varies all the time, from 0 degrees (as during a solar eclipse) to 180 degrees (a lunar eclipse).

Both the Earth and Pluto orbit around the sun at different rates so their relative positions are constantly changing.  In addition, Pluto has an extremely eccentric orbit that at some times brings it closer to the sun than Neptune.  Using their orbital extremes and considering their positions around the sun, these are the closest and furthest distances between Earth and Pluto.\n\nClosest (Earth at furthest point from sun, Pluto at closest, both on same side of sun) - 4,284,726,912 kilometers (2,662,405,870 miles)\nFurthest(Earth at furthest point from sun, Pluto at furthest, both on opposite sides of sun) - 7,223,830,230 km (4,488,680,000 miles)

What is the circumference of the Earth? How far around is the Earth?\n\nThe average radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles (6,374 kilometers).\nThe equitorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle (circumference/diameter) \nis written as the symbol pi. \nPi is approximately 3.141592.\n3.14159265\n3.1415926535\n\nTherefore, to determine the circumference from the diameter given above:\nequitorial diameter x 3.141592 = equitorial circumference\n| |\n7,926 x 3.141592 = 24,900\n| |\nThe earth has a circumference of approximately 24,900 miles.\n\nMore precisely the circumference of the earth\nat the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km. \n\n------------------\n\nHow fast would you have to travel to see the sun set twice, \nor outrun the shadow of the setting sun?\n\nSince the sun "travels" once around the earth every 24 hours, \nwe can get the speed by dividing the circumference of the earth by 24:\n\nmiles divided by hours\n| |\n24,900 / 24 = 1,038 miles per hour\n\n....\n\nA RATIO of a to b can be expressed in three ways:\n1. a : b\n2. a / b\n3. a ÷ b

1 AU = the average distance from the earth to the sun. I can't remember what that is, but if you find out, just multiply it by 40.

Saturn is about 9.6 times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Saturn's average distance to the Sun is just short of being 1 billion miles. The Earth average distance is 93 million miles. \n\nDear Ganch, the definition of a kilometer is that it takes 10,000 of them to go from the Earth's equator to one of the poles. The Earth's circumference is, therefore 40,000 km. The Earth's diameter is 12,756 km. The distance from the sun to the Earth in km is 150 million km (93 million miles) and the distance from the Sun to Saturn is 1 billion 427 million km (890 million miles-- 0.89 billion miles.)The distance from Los Angeles to London os 8,800 km. I really hope the Sun is a little farther than that! Thanks.

The sun is by far the largest object in our solar system. It contains 98% of the solar system's total mass.\n\nIt would take 109 earths to stretch across the sun, and it would take over one million earths to "fill up" the sun if it were hollow.\n\nIf you think of the sun as being the size of a basketball, then the earth would be about the size of the head of a pin.\n\nThe diameter of the Sun is 865,400 mi \nEarth equatorial diameter=7926 mi (12760 km)\nEarth polar diameter=7900 mi (12720 km)\n\nSun's surface area is approximately 12,000 times that of Earth.\n\nMore info:

The distance to the sun can be computed by a variety of techniques.  Trigonometry and parallax measurements were used by ancient greek and arab astronomers to come up with pretty good estimates for the distances to the sun, moon, and other planets.\n\nThe sun's diameter at its equator is about 865,000 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.\n\nThe moon's diameter at its equator is about 2,160 miles, and the mean distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,900 miles.\n\nThe ratio of the diameters is 865000 / 2160 or about 400.  The ratio of distances is 93,000,000 / 238,900 or about 390.  So the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon, but it's also about 400 times farther away - so the sun and moon appear about the same size in the sky.\n\nThe moon's orbit around the earth isn't a circle, and the lunar distance varies from about 220,000 miles to about 252,000 miles.  When it is close to the earth, the moon appears slightly larger than the sun.  When it is in the further part of it's orbit, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun.  If an eclipse occurs when the moon is furthest from earth, the moon's disk can't completely cover the sun.  The result is an "annular" eclipse.\n\nIncidentally, the moon gets slightly farther away from the earth every year.  Eventually, in the distant future, it will be too far away to produce a total eclipse of the sun.

The Earth is about 13 thousand kilometers (8000 miles) wide, whereas the Sun is roughly 1.4 million kilometers (900,000 miles) across. This means it would take more than 100 Earths to span the width of the Sun! If the Sun were a hollow ball, you could fit about 1,300,000 Earths inside of it!

The earth is not a perfect sphere. It's slightly 'wider' than it is tall, so you could measure the circumference at the equator (24,901.55 miles or 40,075.16 kilometers). If you go through the south and north poles (24,859.82 miles or 40,008 km)
