The Earth's center, or a point very close to it inside the Earth, is exactly
following the orbit. So there are always two points on the surface that are
exactly on the orbit. It seems to me that these points would have to be in
the Tropics, and would have to move along the surface as the Earth turns.
It's not possible for ANY point on the surface to ever be more than about
6,200 miles from one of these points where the orbit actually meets the
surface.

How close are Mars and earths orbit in AU's?
The average distance between Mars and Earth is about 1.52 astronomical units (AU). However, their orbits are not always perfectly circular, so this distance can vary.
What is the sha of the earths orbit?
An ellipse.
How long would it take Pluto at its farthest distance away from the sun to orbit the sun if it was traveling at 62500 miles per second?
The distance of Pluto doesn't matter, since the orbit would be the same no matter how fast Pluto travels.The orbit of Pluto is about 22,698,700,000 miles long. if Pluto traveled that distance at 62500 miles per second, it would take 363179.2 seconds or about 100 hours to orbit the Sun.

What is the distance from earths to the moon?
The distance actually depends on the orbit of the Earth and Moon, with 221,665 miles at the shortest point and 252,525 miles at the farthest point.

What is the distance from earths moon to sun?
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.

Does Halley's comet come into earth's orbit?
It's not in Earths orbit. Halley's orbit [See Link] is highly elliptical, and focused on the Sun. Its perihelion, its closest distance to the Sun, is just 0.6 AU (between the orbits of Mercury and Venus), while its aphelion, or farthest distance from the Sun, is 35 AU, or roughly the distance of Pluto
What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?
Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.

What is the semi major axis length of earths elliptic orbit?
The semi-major axis of Earth's elliptic orbit around the Sun is approximately 149.6 million kilometers. This distance represents the average distance between Earth and the Sun.
