During the phenomenon of aphelion, the approximate distance between the earth and the sun is: 1. 137 million km2. 147 million km 3. 142 million km4. 152 million km

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 152 million km

The correct answer is 152 million km.

  • It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun about 150 million km.
  • The Earth-Sun orbit distance is defined to be exactly 1.00, and we call this distance 1.00 AUs.
  • An Astronomical unit is a unit of length it is used to measure distances within the Solar System.
  • 1 A.U. represents the mean distance between the Earth and our sun.
  • The mean distance between the sun and the earth is 149,598,000 km.
  • In terms of light-years, it is 8.311 minutes.
    A light-year is a measure of distance and not of time.
  • Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/second.
  • It is the distances that light will travel in one year that is taken to be one light year.
  • This equals to 9.461×1012 km.
