Pluto's average distance from Sun is 5.87 billion km.
Explanation:
Pluto has an orbit that is very elliptical, i.e. there is a big difference between its closest distance and its farthest distance from the Sun. At the closest point of its orbit, called perihelion, Pluto is 4.41 billion km from the Sun, and at the most distant point of its orbit, Pluto is as far as 7.33 billion km from the Sun. Its average distance from Sun is 5.87 billion km.
