Thanks for the attempt but your calculation is wrong, as it considers distance only on a one axis and not a two axis plane. With your circle assumption, mercury would be further than the sun on average.
I wonder if anyone has the data without the circle assumption, and also correcting for the various other complexities.
What about if you add the sun into the equation?
If you take the sun out of the equation, the planets fly apart in all directions. Hope that helps ;)
I mean would the planets be closer to mercury or the sun on average
