ok i looked at that and that is rong so i looked it up myself and fond this meter (m) - the fundamental unit of length in the metric system. Equal to about 3.3 feet or 1.1 yard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kilometer (km) - equal to 1000 meters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Astronomical Unit (AU) - the commonly used unit of distance in the Solar System; it is equal to the average Earth-Sun distance, or 149,000,000 km.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
light year (ly) - a commonly used unit of distance outside the solar system, equal to the length travelled by light in one year. It is equal to 9,460,000,000,000 km.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
parsec (pc) - the preferred (by astronomers) unit of distance outside the solar system. Defined as the distance at which 1 Astronomical Unit subtends an angle of 1 second of arc (1/3600 of a degree), or the distance an object has to be for its parallax to equal 1 second of arc. Equal to 3.26 light years or 30,800,000,000,000 km.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kiloparsec (kpc) - 1000 parsecs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaparsec (Mpc) - 1 million parsecs.
The Cosmic Distance Scale was created by Maggie Masetti. Scientific Oversight was provided by Dr. Koji Mukai. Responsible NASA Official: Phil Newman
It is a service of the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC), Dr. Nicholas White (Director), within the Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

Galactic Coordinate System: astronomical coordinate system in which the principal axis is the galactic equator (the intersection of the plane of the Milky Way with the celestial sphere) and the reference points are the north galactic pole and the zero point on the galactic equator; the coordinates of a celestial body are its galactic longitude and galactic latitude. In the IAU galactic coordinate system, introduced in 1958 by the International Astronomical Union, the zero point on the galactic equator has the equatorial coordinates R.A. 17h39.3m and Dec. -28¦55¦; this lies in the direction of the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.

It is known that the mass of the Sun is very slowly decreasing. As the AU is a function of the solar mass, this implies that the AU is getting larger (very slowly) over time.

1 AU = 149,597,870.691 kilometers
Definition: An Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a derived constant and used to indicate distances within a solar system. The Earth orbits at a distance of 1 AU from the Sun.
Technical Definition: AU is short for Astronomical Unit and defined as: the radius of a Keplerian circular orbit of a point-mass having an orbital period of 2*(pi)/k days (k is the Gaussian gravitational constant). Since an AU is based on radius of a circular orbit, one AU is actually slightly less than the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 150 million km or 93 million miles).

That would be the same source (NASA) who mixed up metric and imperial measurements resulting in an extremely expensive lawn-dart over Mars?

Whats the point of using a unit of measurement thats constantly changing, albiet slowly.
I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it... |
