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!)
Earth is the third planet from the Sun in our solar system, following Mercury and Venus.
That the earth revolves around the sun, not that the sun revolves around the earth.
The Moon orbits the Earth, and tags along after the Earth. It takes one year - 365.25 days - for the Earth to orbit the Sun once, so that's the number for the Moon as well.
The moon is not a planet, it is Earth's natural satellite. It orbits around Earth, not the sun like the planets do.
Neptune takes about 165 Earth years to orbit around the sun once. This means Neptune's year is equal to approximately 165 Earth years.
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 in our solar system.
Sun.
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.

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.
The sun's diameter is about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
The mutual forces of gravity between the Earth and sun maintain the Earth's closed orbit. So that's "Gravity" for number-1, that's all there is, and that's all it takes. There is no number-2.
