The name for the average sun-to-earth distance is?

Answer 1

1 astronomical unit (1 AU)

Answer 2

Kilometers, or possibly, megameters. A megameter is one million meters, or 1,000 km.

Technically, of course, there's only one metric unit of length ... the meter.

Any others you might encounter are power-of-ten multiples or sub-multiples

of the meter, invented for convenience in order to produce handy numbers in

some limited set of conditions.

Answer 3

The mean distance from Sun to Earth is known as the "Astronomical Unit", abbreviated AU. This distance is used as a comparison in the Solar System, e.g., "Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun". The AU is approximately 149, 600,000 Km or 92,956,000 miles.

Answer 4

Kilometers. Often, AU (Astronomical Units) are used, being easier to "visualize". One astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to Sun.

Within? Usually, miles or kilometers. Lightyears are usually more effective for astronomical distances outside the solar system, however.

Additional: a common unit iused is the 'Astronomical Unit' (A.U.) which includes parsecs

Answer 5

A very large bathroom scale.

Miles, kilometers, light moments, what ever you want to use. I think that the earth to the sun is aprox 93 million miles or 8 light minutes, you can do the math if you want to figure the kilometers.

Answer 6

About 93 million miles.
About 93,000,000 miles.
150G meters.
Minimum Distance from Sun: 146 million km (91 million miles)

Maximum Distance from Sun: 152 million km (94.5 million miles)

Average Distance from Sun: 149 million km (92.75 million miles)

Answer 7

The Astronomical Unit or AU.

Answer 8

1 astronomical unit. The distance between Mars and the Sun is about 1.5 AU.

Answer 9

1 astronomical unit (au) is the name for the average sun-to-earth distance.

It is equal to 1.495979 x 1011 meters (about 93 million miles)

Answer 10

The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is called one Astronomical Unit, or AU for short.
