Aphelion 152,098,232 km Perihelion 147,098,290 km
Closest to the sun. At perihelion, Earth it is 91 million miles (147 million km.) from the Sun. At aphelion, it is 95 million miles (152 million km.) from the Sun. The difference is only about 4 million miles (5 million km.), which, for all practical purposes, is a perfectly circular orbit. This sets the Earth apart from all other planets, especially Mars and Venus, each of which have a perihelion and aphelion that differ significantly.
The fourth planet from the sun is Mars. Aphelion is 249,209,300 km. Perihelion is 206,669,000 km
Closest, or Perihelion. This is usually around January.
At its furthest (aphelion) 0.467 AU and at its nearest (perihelion) 0.307 AU.
No. At Aphelion (furthest distance) it is 69,816,900 km or 0.467 AU from the sun. At perihelion (nearest) it is 46,001,200 km or 0.387 AU from the sun.
Neptune's aphelion (furthest point from the Sun) is 4,553,946,490 km (30.4 AU) Its perihelion (closest point) is 4,452,940,833 km (29.8 AU)
The orbit of Jupiter is at an average distance of 778.4 million km from the sun. Jupiter orbits between 740.3 million km (perihelion) and 816.4 million km (aphelion) from the sun.

Earth is closest to the Sun during a point in its orbit called perihelion, which occurs around early January of each year. This is when the Earth is about 91 million miles (147 million kilometers) away from the Sun.
At its nearest (perihelion) it is 2.735*10^9 km; at its furthest (aphelion) 3.006*10^9 km.
The greatest distance from the Earth to the Sun occurs when Earth is at aphelion, which is about 94.5 million miles (152 million kilometers).
