The explanation for the following answer is explained below.
Explanation:
The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles(150 million kilometers) away from the earth.It is so far away that light from the Sun,travelling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth.Earth does not travel around the Sun in a perfect circle.Instead its orbit is elliptical,like a stretched circle,with the sun just off the center of the orbit. At its closest,the Sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million kilometers ) away us.At its farthest ,the Sun is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km) away.The Earth is closest to the Sun during winter in the northern hemisphere
