What does Planet Distance Converter do?
Convert distances between planets using AU, kilometers, and miles.
Solar system scale
Browse each planet's mean distance from the Sun (semi-major axis), convert astronomical units to kilometers and miles, and compare average heliocentric spacing between two worlds. For orbital time, pair this with the Orbital Year Converter and Length Converter for everyday meters and feet.
Quick reference
1 AU ≈ 149,597,870.7 km ≈ 92,955,807 statute miles
Earth's mean orbit is defined as 1 AU on this page for consistency with classroom fact sheets.

Compared to Earth's mean orbit
Your distance is about 1 × 1 AU (149.598 million km vs 149.598 million km).
Heliocentric radius gap
We show |a₁ − a₂| using each world's mean semi-major axis—the difference in average Sun distance. That is not the straight-line distance between planets on a given day.
