1 Saturn is 886 million miles, or 1426 million kilometres, from the Sun. 2  Distances from the Sun are measured in Astronomical Units (AU). 3  The Earth is the standard unit, and is one AU from the Sun, so an AU equals 150 million kilometres (93 million miles), the distance of the Earth from the Sun.
At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Ea â¦ rth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles).  *The average distance from the Sun for Mercury is about 58 million kilometers, and Earth's is about 150 million kilomters.So the average distance between their orbits is about 92 million kilometers (57 million miles).arth's closest distance (perihelion) occurs in early January each year when it â¦ is approximately 91,445,000 miles (147,166,000 km) from the sun.
