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 sun is at an average distance of about 93000000 miles 150 million kilometers away from earth it is so far away that light from the sun traveling at a speed of 186000 miles 300000 kilometers per second takes about 8 minutes to reach ushe sun is at an average distance of about 93000000 miles 150 million kilometers away from earth it is so far away that light from the sun traveling at a speed of 186000 miles 300000 kilometers per second takes about 8 minutes to reach us
