1 AU is approximately 8 light minutes.
1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
-- the Astronomical Unit -- the Light Year -- the Parsec -- the Magnitude
A light year is much larger. 1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
A light year is much larger. 1 light year = 63,240 Astronomical Units
Light years and astronomical units are both units of distance.
5.5 light hours is about 40 astronomical units (AU)
If venus is 6.o light minutes from the sun what is Venus distance from the sun i astronomical units?
Units such as light years and astronomical units are useful because they can be used to measure very large distances without yielding extremely large numbers.
It depends on what it of distance is being used. A million million kilometres is 6684 astronomical units, which is the distance travelled by light in 3.3 million seconds, or 5½ weeks.
Astronomical Units, parsecs, light years, take your pick.
Mercury--0.387 astronomical units Venus--0.723 astronomical units Earth--1.0 astronomical units Mars--1.524 astronomical units Jupiter--5.203 astronomical units Saturn--9.529 astronomical units Uranus--19.19 astronomical units Neptune--30.06 astronomical units Pluto--39.53 astronomical units Please note that these are all mean distances, and the actual distance will vary as to the location of the specific planet in its specific orbit.
