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 distance from the Earth to the Sun varies because the Earth's orbit about the Sun is elliptical. At its closest, the distance is 91,402,000 miles a â¦ nd its farthest distance it is 94,512,000 miles. This gives an average distance of 92,957,000 miles. Light travels at 186,282 miles per second.he Sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 km) or 1 AU (Astronomical unit) from Earth.   Light would take 8.3 minutes.   Voyager 1 ~38,000 mph would reach th â¦ e Sun in 101 days.
