Why is the sun 93 million miles away from the Earth?

I challenge anyone of you to give me a straight logical answer. And not a wall of text, please. The question was why therefore the responce should begin with because.

It formed itself that way? From what?

The chances of the universe "just forming that way" are so small it might as well just be called impossible.

from the scientific prediction called "the big bang" and im sure its not science this "big bang"... but yeah....

the sun being away from the earth at the right distance was pretty much a flook.... the earth orbits around the sun keeping its distance.. there is a right ammont of heat on earth which life can form... im sure many more of these planets are out there...

So you're telling me that you know, for a fact, that the universe randomly formed in such a way that we are in the perfect situation regardless of almost impossible odds? Sounds an aweful lot to me like nature has some sort of bias towards us or something. Because in a completely lifeless, mindless random chunk of existance, that would never happen.

the sky is actully not blue, its purple cause the what is really is and how it made blue is the sun reflexin the chemicals and the ground. the rest is stupid.. anyways

the sun is center of the universe and the planets are roating around the sun. the reason why its soo far aways cause the grativy and every year we get closer to the sun so we'll ended up like mercury. the mars will be the next earth in billion years.. but the black hole will come before the earth get destroy by the sun.. and more crap to it yeah...

Why is the sun's gravitational pull so perfect, then? These questions will lead you back around, because that whole argument is based off circular reasoning.

Honestly you haven't given us any good reasoning either so how can you sit there and just disprove things without actually giving a reason and instead just spouting philosophical jargon?

If it was 94 million miles away, Earth would eventually drift away because there isn't enough of a gravitational force to keep it orbiting. If it was 92 million miles away, eventually Earth would fall into the Sun because the Earth wont revolve fast enough to stay in orbit.

Because the earth's mass is much smaller than the sun so the earth has to be at this distance and travel at this speed to avoid getting pulled in or pushed away from the sun. At this distance, the centifugal force and the centripitle force are equal.

the sun's not 93*10^6 miles away; it varies depending on where we are on our elliptical orbit around it.

but if you want a physics-based answer: it's all to do with gravity and orbits. if you have a central body (sun) with satellites (planets) orbiting it, to each speed there is one specific correspondiing orbit and vice-versa. 

so the sun's (at one point) 93*10^6 miles away, because we travel at X miles an hour (don't know exact speed).

the other side is we travel at X miles an hour because we're (at one point) 93*10^6 miles away from the sun on our elliptical orbit with the sun being one of its focus points.

 these theories are proven, so don't start trying to be clever with words again; i WILL own you!

actually, your question should be "why is the EARTH so many miles away from the sun?" seeing as the sun is the centre of our solar system. And in answer to THAT question is because at the time of big band (theory here) planets were formed by that... and everything else. Bang indicates an explosion, meaning things move outwards. However, the sun formed at a particular moment in the big bang, and its gravitational pull "captured" debris which was blown around in the big bang and entrapped it into its current orbits. Technically, the solar system is still expanding, and we are actually getting further away from the sun VERY VERY slowly.

because the universe expands all the time, and it have been doing so for trillions of years. the universe does that thanks to something called dark matter. unlike regular matter that pulls other matter towards it (gravity, orbit), dark matter push matter away from it thus causing the universe to expand.

This is so obviously a bait question to start a debate of science and religion.

  So I'll just give you the answer that you are seeking:  God did it.

Because 93 million miles out, there just happened to be something large enough whose gravity pulled in matter around it to form a planet. Or more simply, for the same reason the other planets are their distances from the sun.
