It varies from about 5.2 million km to 7.7 million km. It was at aphelion in 1992 and has since been getting closer, though since its orbital period is about 280 years it's still pretty close to the maximum distance.

∙ 13y agoHaumea is a Kuiper Belt plutoid which are a class of dwarf planets similar to Pluto. It has a long elliptical orbit which is inclined relative to Earth's orbit. It is on average much further from the sun than even Pluto is though for part of it's orbit it passes inside Pluto's orbit.

How close has anyone been to Haumea?
The people who have been the closest to Haumea were the Apollo astronauts in orbit around the moon. At about 250,000 miles further out from the Earth, this distance is insignificant, since Haumea is over fifty times the distance from the Sun than Earth orbits at.
In miles how far away is the dwarf planet Haumea from the Sun?
Haumea's orbit is oval shaped, taking it from 34.72 AU out to 51.54 AU from the sun. Currently it's about 50 AU from the sun.
When the distance between the earth and the sun is minimum?
The distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million km .
How long does it take for Haumea to orbit the sun?
Haumea takes 283.28 years to orbit the Sun.
Where is haumea located in the solar system?
Haumea is one of the newly-discovered Kuiper Belt Objects out beyond the orbit of Neptune. It has a perihelion distance of about 35 AU.
How far is Haumea from the Sun in astronomical units?
Haumea orbits between 34.952 and 51.483 AU from the Sun.

The distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million km .
What is the proximity from the moon to the sun?
The distance between the Moon and the Sun is, on average, the same as the distance between the Earth and the Sun: about 150,000,000 km.

What is the vocabulary word for distance between the earth and the sun?
One Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth.
How far the distance between sun and moon?
Same as distance between sun and earth ... averaging 93 million miles.
Does gravity have a limited distance range?
In theory, no but since the gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, the effect reduces quite rapidly. Nevertheless, the sun's gravity affects objects in the Kuiper Belt, where we find a Pluto, Eris, Makemake and Haumea. Thus, the sun's gravity extends to 50 AU, or 7.5 billion kilometers. And, the sun is a pretty average star so a supergiant would have a much greater region of influence.
