What is the distance of various planets from the Sun?

Planets are objects that are in orbit around a star. In the case of our solar system, all the planets are in orbit around the Sun. There are 8 planets in our Solar System (Pluto now being relegated to the category of Dwarf Planet since 2006), namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The average distances of these planets from the Sun is given below:

• Mercury: 57.9 million km


• Venus: 108.2 million km


• Earth: 149.6 million km


• Mars: 227.9 million km


• Jupiter: 778.5 million km


• Saturn: 1.429 billion km


• Uranus: 2.877 billion km


• Neptune: 4.498 billion km

Pluto is at a distance of 5.906 billion kilometers from the Sun.

Note that these are average distances of planets from the Sun, since their orbits are not perfectly circular.

Hope this helps.
