How did we come up with astronomical units?
In part, the unit was introduced because at first, the ratios between different distances in the Solar System (such as, how far is each planet from the Sun) were known to a pretty good accuracy (thanks to Kepler's Laws), but the absolute distances themselves (say, in kilometers) were not. Therefore, such distances were expressed in multiples of Earth's distance from the Sun, as a convenient "yardstick". It is still very useful, to help visualize distances within the Solar System.
What galaxy and star system is closest to the US?
You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.
What are some of the general significance of Babylonians?
The Babylonians were significant for their contributions to law, mathematics, and astronomy. They are best known for the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest written legal codes, which established principles of justice. In mathematics, they developed a base-60 number system that influences how we measure time and angles today. Additionally, their astronomical observations and predictions laid foundational work for future astronomical studies.
What do you know about the sun moon stars and other planet?
A great deal is now known about astronomical objects. It is a very large body of knowledge and includes planetary science, astronomy, physics, chemistry, orbital mechanics etc.
What astronomical corresponds to the passage of one month?
28 days
How has the length of the astronomical unit been most accurately determined?
Radar was reflected off the surfaces of nearby planets whose distances are known in astronomical units.
What are chromosomes that are not associated with sex determination known as?
Chromosomes that are not associated with sex determination are known as autosomes.
Is a beam of light affected by gravity?
Yes, light is affected by gravity. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity can bend the path of light rays, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This effect has been observed in various astronomical observations.
What is the distance between the earht and the sun?
The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This distance is known as an astronomical unit (AU) and is used as a standard unit of measurement for distances within our solar system.
Which Greek is known for the astronomical treatise almagest?
Ptolemy
Who is known for publishing an almanac based on my astronomical calculations?

What type of determination is this known as?
True negative
What do you call the distance between the Earth and the sun?
That is known as an "astronomical unit".
Northern soldiers eventually became known for their?
Their discipline and determination
Why do scientists use astronomical units to measure distances in space?
The resulting numbers are easier to grasp. Also, for historical reasons: at one time, the relative distances of the planets was known pretty well, but the absolute distances (in meters) were not.
