Best Answer. Hi. If the engineer is just doing a check then it can vary across the country, but i would say Â£200 -Â£500.
Since the distances are so large, we usually express them in Astronomical Units (AU). (An AU is the average distance from Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles.) The table below lists the distance of each planet from the Sun in AU. (Numbers were taken from this page.)
Earth's lopsided orbit. Earthâs perihelion (point closest to Sun) = 91,400,000 miles from Sun. Earthâs aphelion (point farthest from Sun) = 94,500,000 miles from Sun. While that is a difference of over 3 million miles, relative to the entire distance, it isnât much.And, believe it or not, aphelionâwhen Earth is farthest from the Sunâoccurs in July, and perihelionâwhen we are closestâoccurs in January.any people believe that Earth is closer to the sun in the summer and that is why it is hotter. And, likewise, they think Earth is farthest from the sun in the winter. Although this idea makes sense, it is incorrect. It is true that Earthâs orbit is not a perfect circle.
