hi I"m Benny and this here is my first post.<br /><br />was reading a texbook on planetaries that said the sun is 93 thousend miles away and apart from earth (which ive no problem with.<br /><br />but farther down the paige it said the earth orbitz this same sun in an elliptic mannor, not circlic (circally I should say(<br /><br />I"m confused cuz the elliptic pic showed the earth closer at the suns poles and farther away at the eastside and westsied of the sun. so how can the distance be a round numbre like 93 thousend miles when the pic wasnt a constant circle?<br /><br />i direct my questin to the astronomer on cite.
