The sun.
On November 17, 1998, Voyager 1 overtook Pioneer 10 as the most distant man-made object from Earth. As of January 2011, it is around 116 AU from earth, where 1 AU (Astronomical Unit) is 93 million miles (distance of earth to sun).
1 AU, by definition.
Earth is approximately 1 astronomical unit (AU) away from the sun.
"AU" stands for "Astronomical Unit". It's a unit of distance often usedto describe distances within our solar system.One AU is simply the Earth's average distance from the sun during 1 year.AU stands for the distance from the sun to the earth, 150 Giga meters.AU stands for astronomical unit - which is basically the distance from the Sun to EArth. AU from the Sun means that a distance is measured from the Sun, to some other object, and that the distance is expressed in AU.
1 AU, or astronomical unit, is the distance between the earth and sun, making earth 1 AU away from the sun. That is about 93 million miles
The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun, not the diameter. See related question.
The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun while Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun so the distance from Earth to Mars varies from 1.52-1 to 1.52+1 AU, which is quite a range. To put AUs into miles multiply by 93,000,000.
About 30 AU from the Sun. Since Earth is 1 AU from the Sun, Neptune can be between 29-31 AU from the Earth.
An AU, or astronomical unit, is defined as the average distance from Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance from Earth to the Sun equals 1 AU.
All objects orbiting the Sun do so in an elliptical orbit. Therefore sometimes they are further away while at others they are closer.To be 68 AU from the Earth you would need to know the position of the Earth relative to the said object as the Earth could be on the other side of the Sun.The closest objects to 68 AU from the Sun would be Eris or 2007 OR10.Eris: Aphelion 97.56 AU Perihelion 37.77 AU Semi major axis (Average) 67.67 AU2007 OR10: Aphelion 100.79 AU Perihelion 33.62 AU Semi major axis (Average) 67.21 AU
AU stands for Astronomical Unit. The Earth is 1 AU away from the sun. Therefore, 1 AU is approximately 93 million miles long.
To find use the following equationobject size = distance x (smallest angle/57.3°)Since Arecibo is on Earth, to find the distance take the distance between the sun and Earth (in AU) and subtract the distance between the sun and Venus (in AU). Then multiply the AU by 1.5 x 108 (or the number of kilometers in 1 AU)1 AU - 0.72 AU = 0.28 AU0.28 AU x 1.5 x 108 = 4.2 x 107 kmFor 1'object size = 4.2 x 107 x (1/60°/57.3°)object size = 12216.4 kmFor 1"object size = 4.2 x 107 x (1/3600°/57.3°)object size = 203.6 km
