judgment of the sun from the ground

The sun is about 93 million miles (149.6 million kilometers) away from the Earth's surface. This distance, called an "astronomical unit," is a standard unit of measurement used in astronomy to describe distances within our solar system. It is equal to the average distance from the Earth to the sun, which is about 93 million miles. To put this distance in perspective, it would take about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the Earth at the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
