    Selected by the asker, The Holy Spirit. (What's this?)

    As Neodarwinian49 said, the mean distance is around 149,637,000, but its not constant.

    The Earths path around the Sun is an ellipse and not a circumference, and the sun is not at the center, but at one focus. Then distance changes along the year.
    Minimum distance (January 3th) 149,637,000 + 1,700,000
    Maximum distance (July 4th) 149,637,000 - 1,700,000

    And .... yes, we are closer during the North hemisphere winter.

    By the way, as everything rotates and moves, those distances and dates, also change along time.

    ~ 93,000,000 miles (1.609 kilometers/1 mile)

    = 149,637,000 kilometers

    93 million miles is just a fair estimate from memory
