Why are AU and light years important?
I don't think they are "important"; but they are convenient units of length - AU for distances within the Solar System (or other comparable distances); light-years (and parsecs) for larger distances.
How many minutes does it take light to travel from the sun to sedna?
The distance from the Sun to Sedna is approximately 86 astronomical units (AU). Since light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second, it would take roughly 13.7 hours for light to travel from the Sun to Sedna. This is equivalent to around 822 minutes.
How many light years are equal to 4.5 billion years?
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
How many years to the crabnebula?
the Crab-nebula is 6,500 light-years from Earth.
How many light years away is Beta Centaur?
That would be "Beta Centauri". Wikipedia lists its distance as 350 ± 20 light-years. Wolfram Alpha lists a the distance as 397.4 light-years.
How many au is 600 light years?
600 light-years is 37,944,646.2 AU
How many AU are in 16 light years?
16 light years is 1,011,834.75 AU (Astronomical Units).
How many AU's are there in 16 light-years?
2.25 AU
How many Au is 1000 light years?
They really are not comparable. Light travels 186,000 miles per second, and one AU is about 8.3 light-MINUTES. You can probably do the math, from minutes to hours to days to years as well as I can. Or, you could google "1000 light years in AU" and get the answer
How many AU are in 4.7Ly?
1 light year is approximately 63,241 AU. Therefore, 4.7 light years is about 297,116 AU.
How many AUs is 5.5 light years?
5.5 light years equates to 347,818.194 AU (Astronomical Units).
What is 35.2 AU in light-years?
35.2 AU = roughly 0.000557 light-year (rounded)
How many light years is there between Mercury and Venus?
The average distance between Mercury and Venus is approximately 0.5 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is approximately 93 million miles. One light year is about 63,241 AU, so the distance between Mercury and Venus is about 0.0000079 light years.
How is Saturn from the sun in light years?
Saturn is approximately 9.5 AU from the sun, which is about 0.00015 light years.
How many AU's is the Milky Way galaxy across?
The Milky Way is estimated to be about 2,000 light years thick, but about 100,000 light years long/far... Which i guess you can tell, thats a lot.
How many light years away is Jupiter from the sun?
Jupiter is not even close to a light year from the sun. Jupiter is about 5.2 AU from the sun on average, which works out to about 43 light minutes.
How many light years is the heliopause to the sun?
Voyager 1 was able to perform measurements and establish the distance as 121 AU (18 billion km). This would make the distance about 0.0019 light years.
