The table below shows the eight planets and the average distance between them. Only earth can be assigned au 1.

1 au is the distance from the sun to earth which is 149 600 000 km.

Planets size and distance from sun. 0 39 57 9 million venus. It takes 224 68 earth days for venus to revolve around the sun and 243 earth days to rotate on its axis. The distances displayed below the planets are in kilometers or miles depending on your settings.

Distance from the sun au km mercury. Venus named after the roman goddess of love and beauty is 67 2 million miles from the sun and 26 million miles away from earth. 9 539 1 427 0 million uranus.

You can also zoom in and out on the planets or the sun using the plus and minus buttons. There is a huge amount of different in the distances between the planets depending on their position on their orbit path. It is the sixth largest planet in the solar system with a diameter of 7 521 miles.

The au column is the distance in astronomical units. 1 524 227 9 million jupiter. 1 149 6 million mars.

Distance between planets is not to scale. 1 au 93 million miles the distance from the sun to the earth. The bar below the planets illustrates their relative distance from the sun and each other.

The distance of each planet from the sun varies because all the planets orbit the sun on different elliptical paths. Talk about what a solar system model that demonstrates the relative average distances between the planets and the sun and the relative sizes of the planets would look like. As with all the planets mercury is not always the same distance from the sun.

If the sun neptune distance is scaled to 100 metres then the sun would be about 3 cm in diameter roughly two thirds the diameter of a golf ball the giant planets would be all smaller than about 3 mm and earth s diameter along with that of the other terrestrial planets would be smaller than a flea 0 3 mm at this scale. The closest distance between mercury and the sun is 46 million kilometers or 29 million miles the farthest distance is 70 million kilometers or 43 million miles with an average distance of 57 million kilometers or 35 million miles.

Astronomers measure distances in the solar system in astronomical units or au. It is a unit of length equal to the average distance from earth to sun approximately 149 600 000 kilometers 92 957 000 miles. Explain to students that an astronomical unit or au is a simplified number used to describe a planet s distance from the sun.

The illustration shows correct relative size and order of the planets.
