How Far From the Sun?
Average distance of each planet from the Sun, in millions of kilometres
What can we learn?
- Earth is 149.6 million km from the Sun. Light needs about eight minutes to cover that distance.
- Neptune is about 30 times farther than Earth, at 4,515 million km, so the sunlight that reaches it is very weak.
- The four rocky planets sit close together, and then there is a huge gap before Jupiter.
