I can't be bothered working it out for the 21st of June, 2019 but on the 5th of July, 2019:
The Distance from the centre of the earth to the sun at sunrise is about: 152,104,285 km.
The Distance from the centre of the earth to the sun at noon is about: 152,104,285 km.
The Distance from the centre of the earth to the sun at sunset is about: 152,104,285 km.
The Distance from the centre of the earth to the sun at midnight is about: 152,104,285 km.
Subtract about 6375 km for the earth's radius and 695,510 km for the radius of the sun, though this figure is a bit hard to define exactly.
Since the 5th of July, 2019 is the date of the aphelion the time of day will have very little effect on the distance.
The way to calculate it on other dates (and times if need be) can be found in
How can I find the distance to the Sun on any given day? (Advanced). It does admittedly ignore the effect of moon's gravitation.
Is that any help
?
