Which is the system that consists of the Sun and objects that revolve around it?
Our Solar System!
Best unit to measure distance to nearby stars?
While lightyears are used in measuring distances between galaxies and suns and the distances to extra solar planets, the measurements inside our solar system (between the planets in our solar system are miles and kilometers. The larger A.U.s (Astronomical Units) or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun can also be used. An A.U. is equivalent to 149 598 000 kilometers.
Which planet is one astonomical unit from the sun?
Earth. An Astronomical Unit is a unit of distance measure defined as the mean (average) distance between the Earth and the Sun; thus, the earth orbits the sun at a distance of 1 Astronomical Unit. The Astronomical Unit was invented to make it easier to think of astronomical distances within the Solar System ... it is easier to get a feel for how close the planets and other bodies in the solar system are close to the sun in terms of Astronomical Units (AUs) than millions of kilometers: Mercury at 0.4 AU versus 50 million kilometers, Venus at 0.7 AU versus 108 million kilometers, etc.
Would a solar powered heating unit work on the moon?
A solar powered heating unit may or may not work on the moon
Are kilometers the most useful unit of measure when discussing objects in our solar sysytem?
You can use kilometers if you like. On the other hand, distances within the Solar System are often quoted in AU (astronomical units), where 1 astronomical unit is the distance from Sun to Earth. Such distances are easier to visualize.
How do you scale down the distance between planets?
Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.
Why does each planet in the solar system have a different length of year?
All the planets in the solar system move at different speeds around the sun, and at different distances. The term "year" as in one orbit around the sun has nothing to do with a "year" as a unit of measurement on Earth.
What is the distance between earth and the sun in AU?
The unit is actually called an astronomical unit (AU). It represents the average orbital radius of the Earth and is used for relative approximations of the distances within the solar system (for example, of planets, dwarf planets, and comets).It is equal to 149,597,871 km or 93,955,807.3 miles.
How and when do scientists use astronomical unit?
This unit is mainly used for distances within the Solar System.

What is the basic unit of distance within the solar system?
AU - Astronomical Unit, but miles and kilometers are used for distances
What large unit is used for measuring distances beyond the solar system?
corn
What unit is used to measure distances beyond your solar system?
Light-Years
What unit is used to measure distance outside Earths solar system?
Light years
What is a unit used to measure the large distances between objects in our solar system?
The Astronomical unit is used to measure the large distances in our solar system. It is roughly the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Is it true a light year is a unit of time?
Yes, indeed it is. An astronomical unit is 8.3 light minutes. So light years are indeed a unit of time used in space, but not in our solar system, because our solar system is not big enough to use light hours. An astronomical unit, by the way, is the distance from the sun to Earth.
