scientists use light-years to measure long distances in space. a light year, (abrviated ly) is the distance light can travel.

astronomical unit
The average distance between Sun and Earth is called the "astronomical unit". It is approximately 150 million km.
The "latitude" of any place is the angle on the Earth's surface between that placeand the equator. That angle is the basic measurement, and the distance can becalculated from it.
Astronomical Unit- The distance between objects in the solar system!
To find the actual distance between two points on Earth using a graphic scale, measure the distance between the two points on the map using the scale provided. Convert this measurement to actual distance by using the ratio scale (e.g., 1 cm = 100 km) provided on the map. Multiply the measured distance by the ratio to find the actual distance between the two points on Earth.
The distances in the solar system can all be related by Kepler's laws, which give the relative distances. A single measurement of one particular distance then enables the scale to be decided so that all the distances are then known The best single measurement is made during a transit of Venus observed from two different widely separated places on the Earth. The two observations from the ends of a known baseline enable the distance to be found by triangulation.
To find the distance between the Earth and Moon you would use Lunar distance. Lunar distance is the measurement from and to the Earth and Moon which calculates 238,900 miles
An Astronomical Unit is a unit of measurement roughly equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun; about 150 Million Kilometres.
In terms of physical measurement, the distance between Earth and heaven is not known as heaven is considered a spiritual or metaphysical realm, not a physical location in space. Different belief systems and cultures have their own interpretations of where or what heaven is.
The average distance from Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles. This distance is not typically measured in square miles since it is a linear measurement, not an area measurement.
