    Answer:

    Depending on the relative position of the Earth the Sun and Neptune in the Earths orbit the distances are;

    The closest (minimum) distance of Neptune from the Earth is 29 AU

    The farthest (maximum) distance of Neptune fro the Earth is 31 AU

    Explanation:

    The following parameters are given;

    The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

    The distance of Neptune from the Earth = 30 AU

    We have;

    When the Sun is between the Earth and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

    Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 + 1 = 31 AU

    When the Earth is between the Sun  and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

    Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 – 1 = 29 AU

    Therefore, the closest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth’s Orbit is 29 AU

    The farthest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth’s orbit is 31 AU.
