How do we know? Did anyone travel to sun and back?
Good question. The answer, in a few words, is "Paralax view calculation".
Simply explained; it has to do with viewing any object from two different points. Knowing the distance between the view points and the angles...the distance to the third point can be determined.
It's complex geometry...and if you want to know more; read this;
@Robecology yes, I know this.. it's trigonometry... I was just joking around...
Depends-if you're using miles one way and kilometers the other then it's different.
A rose by any other name . . .

It surely depends on which route you take.

@bookofmorons Good idea but make sure there is a full moon so that you can see where you are going.
You can't go to the sun at the night because the sun is not there!
