The earth is 150 million miles from the sun.
Venus is 28% closer to the sun than us. Mercury is 61% closer than us. Mars is about 1.5 times further away than us. Jupiter is about 5.2 times further away. Saturn is about 9.5 times further away. Uranus is about 19 times further. Neptune is about 30 times further. Pluto is about 39 times further. (ya, I know, Pluto got expelled) To put this another way. Pluto is 5,870,000,000 km from the sun. Pluto is 5,720,000,000 km from the earth. *mind blown*
