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.)
Answer by Historikeren. Confidence votes 4.7K. Using average distances from the Sun the minimum distance is 1.0 - 0.7233 astronomical units, 0.2767 AU or 41.39 million km. But using the eccentricity of the orbits as well, the Earth's distance is 1.0Â±0.01672 AU, while Venus's distance is 0.7233x(1Â±0.00679) AU.
