Using an average distance of 93,000,000 miles between the Earth and the Sun, and a diameter of 8,000 miles for the Earth, this would mean the Sun is 11,625 Earth-Diameters away! To put it another way: If the Sun were the size of a regulation 9-inch Basketball, then the Earth would be just a bit bigger than the head of a pin, and located 77 feet away! (The nearest Star/basketball would be about 4,000 miles away!)
If you are asking about the planets in order from the sun it is:
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto (a dwarf planet)
The question is unusual, but we'll take it at face value . . .
The distance from the earth to the sun averages about 93,000,000 miles,
and the earth's diameter is about 8,000 miles. These rough figures are
close enough to pull out a number that will point close to the answer.
If several earths were lined up between our present position and the sun ...
like beads on a string ... it would take (93,000,000 / 8000) of them, or about
11,625 earths
to cover the distance from the earth to the sun.
Of course that depends on how fast you travel and what route you take.
If you could travel from earth to sun in a straight line, then
-- at 100 miles per hour . . . . . 38,750 days = about 106 years
-- at 343 meters per second (speed of sound at sea level) . . . 5,050 days = about 13.8 years
-- at 300,000 kilometers per second (speed of light) . . 8.3 minutes = about 0.00058 day
Earth is the third planet from the sun.

To quote the title of the TV series, the Earth is the "Third Rock from the Sun".
The Sun is at a distance of 150 million kilometers; Earth's radius is about 6371 km; the diameter is twice that.

It takes the Earth 365.26 days to make one orbit of our sun.
That the earth revolves around the sun, not that the sun revolves around the earth.
Mercury is closer to the earth than the sun is, because the orbit of Mercury is between the sun and the orbit of Earth. However, when Mercury is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth, the sun is closer to the earth than Mercury is.
planet earth is third from the sun
The number of hours of sunlight changes as the earth revolves around the sun because the earth revolves around the sun tilted. Depending on the position of the earth in relation to the sun will determine the number of hours of sunlight emitted towards earth.
The Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun. (third rock from the sun, you remember that?)
Earth is the third planet from the sun. Mercury is first and Venus is second. Mars is the fourth. These are the Inner Planets.

92,955,807.27 miles is the mean Earth-Sun distance. This number is also what is commonly referred to as an astronomical unit.
It is purely random.

Copernicus and Galileo discovered the earth revolves around the sun. Any number of people may have sworn to this.
The Earth is the third (3rd) planet from the sun. Pluto used to be the 9th planet from the sun, but since Pluto is now called a dwarf planet, there is no planet that is 9th from the sun.
