You would use Astronomical Units (AU). These are defined as being the average distance between the earth and sun, 1 AU is the earth to sun distance, which is around 93 million miles or 150 million km. You can use km or miles, but it becomes difficult to compare distances due to the large numbers needed. By saying 0.38AU is the sun to Mercury distance for example, you can directly compare with the earth sun distance. So mercury to sun distance would be 38% of the sun to earth distance.

Why is the nervous system compared to an airmail delivery system and the endocrine system to the pony express?

The nervous system is compared to an airmail delivery system because it transmits information quickly, like airmail travels fast over long distances. Conversely, the endocrine system is compared to the Pony Express because it uses slower chemical signals (hormones) to communicate throughout the body, similar to how the Pony Express delivered mail across vast distances but with a longer time frame.
