The Sun, the main energy source driving the water cycle, is approximately how far from Earth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About 150 million km

Correct answer: B, about 150 million kilometres. The average Earth–Sun distance is approximately 149.6 million kilometres, commonly rounded in school science to 150 million kilometres or 15 crore kilometres. Solar radiation supplies the energy that evaporates water from oceans, lakes, soil, and plants. The resulting vapour helps the water cycle continue through condensation, precipitation, runoff, and collection. A and D are much too small; they describe distances that are only a small fraction of the actual astronomical distance. C, 150 kilometres, is a distance within Earth’s atmosphere or near-Earth region, not the distance to the Sun. The exact Earth–Sun distance varies slightly during the year because Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle, so the rounded value is the appropriate school-level answer. Memory cue: 150 million km equals about 15 crore km.
