When is the AU found?
The Au if found after you calculate the distance from the earth to the moon. Au stands for: Astronomical units
Which planet in the solar system is one astronomical unit from the sun?
It is the earth that is in orbit one astronomical unit (AU) from the sun. That's where the AU came from. One AU is the mean distance from the sun to the earth. A link can be found below.
Why is the astronomical unit used when describing distances in your solar system?
Because the measurement of the solar system requires large numbers. It's far easier to use an Astronomical Unit (AU) than quote distances in miles. For example - the mean distance from the Earth to the sun is 93,000,000 miles. It's much easier to quote that distance as 1AU (It takes up less space on paper too !).

Why do Scientists think a Asteroid hit the world 65 million years killed the dinos?
The main evidence is a layer of iridium that is found worldwide. Iridium is an element that is rare on Earth's surface, but is common in asteroids. The iridium layer dates to 65.5 million years ago, and coincides with the extinction of the dinosaurs. Also, geologists have discovered the Chixculub crater, a crater that is buried by sediment but is so large it could only have been created by an asteroid 6 miles across.
