The average (for a certain kind of average, called the semi-major axis) distance between the Earth and the Sun is one astronomical unit, or 1 AU. (Technically, it's very slightly more than 1 AU, because 1 AU is defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters, and the semi-major axis of Earth's orbit is about 0.00026% longer than that ... a difference of around 250 miles.)

The distance from the sun refers to the average distance between the Earth and the sun, which is approximately 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. This distance is known as an astronomical unit (AU) and is used as a standard unit of measurement in astronomy to describe distances within our solar system.
