A map of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.
Since the distances are so large, we usually express them in Astronomical Units (AU). (An AU is the average distance from Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles.) The table below lists the distance of each planet from the Sun in AU. (Numbers were taken from this page.)
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is also called 1 astronomical unit (or AU). This is established as 149,â597,â870.7 kilometers (92,955,887.6 miles).Aphelion (when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun) occurs around the first week of July.he orbit of the Earth around the Sun is an ellipse. The distance is not fixed, but varies throughout its orbit. The average distance is about 150 million kilometers (149,597, â¦ 890 km) or about 93 million miles (92,955,820 mi.).
