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 Earth's distance from the Sun varies slightly, since Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. Earth'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.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.
