Are distances between Sun and any planet measured from near edge to near edge or from center to center?

They are centre to centre, but given the relative measures and the fact that the distances are averages over elliptical orbits rather than circular ones, the difference between the two is irrelevant.

Which planet weighs itself with newton's?
The amount of substance of a planet is measured in kilograms, a unit of mass. In this sense, there is no difference between one planet and another. It doesn't make much sense to speak about the "weight" of a planet, but you can measure the attraction between a planet and another object in units of force, i.e., in Newtons.
What means Earth Measurement?
Our planet is measured in miles (diameter)
Is mass and weight measured in cubic inches?
Mass is measured in Kilograms (kgs) or Pounds Weight is measured in Newtons there is a difference between mass and weight because weight depends on gravity, mass does not. So you weight changes depending on which planet you are on. Weight W masss m gravitational accelearation g W = mg
When do you use Au for measurement?
Astronomical Units (AU) are most useful in describing the distance from a planet to its sun. For just about any other purpose they're either too long (distances on a planet's surface) or too short (distances between stars) to be of much practical use.
Can the force of gravity on a 1 kilogram mass ever be more than on a two kilogram mass?
Only if the two masses are at different distances from the planet's center, or on planetswith different masses.If the two masses are at the same distance from the same third mass ... or just attractingeach other with any separation distance, then no.
Are distance between the inner planet greater than the distances between the outer planet?
distances are greater between outer planets
What is the approximate distance in temperature between the hottest planet and the coldest planet ' measured in degrees celsius?

Newton found that gravity depends upon mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the what?
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
Is miles used to measure distance in space?
No. Short distances (the width of a planet) are measured in kilometers. Distances from one place to another in our solar system are measured in Astronomical Units (AU), one AU being 93 million miles. Longer distances outside our solar system are popularly measured in light years, Alpha Centauri is 4.2 light years away, for example, but note I said "popularly". Astronomers use the term "parsecs" when speaking of interstellar distances (one parsec is 3.26 light years).
How does the distance between planet earth and the sun compare with the distances between the planet earth and other stars?
The Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star.
What is the approximate difference in temperature between the hottest planet and the coldest planet measured in degrees Celsius?
The difference is approx 660 Celsius degrees.
Distances in our Solar System are measured in?
Normally in Astronomical Units (AU) which is the average distance from the earth to the sun.
Why is the unit of measurement used for the distances of planets from the Sun different from the unit used for their size?
Different units of measurment are used because the distances involved are very different. A planet's diameter or circumference is measured in miles or kilometres because that is quite manageable (for example: 20,000 miles). The distance between planets is much greater so is usually measured in light years (the distance light travels in one year = 9,460,730,472,580.8 kilometres) or, for really extreme distances, in parsecs. (1 parsec = approx 31,000,000,000,000 kilometres). There is also the Astronomical Unit (AU) = 149,597,870.7 kilometres.
What is the planet center called?
The center of the planet is called the "core."

What are the distances from each planet to the sun?
10000 klm
