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.

Yangja Isuko	Posted - 2004.08.01 10:07:00 - [17] 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.

Mr nStuff	Posted - 2004.08.01 10:20:00 - [21] 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. 5 R&D Agents, 10months, Zero BPO Offers..

NTRabbit	Posted - 2004.08.01 10:26:00 - [23] Im more inclined to side with this source Originally by: NASA 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). -------- #eve-online irc.stratics.com - Former official IRC channel (Legacy)* #eve-online irc.coldfront.net - Official Unofficial IRC channel WE R 4TW!

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

Raem Civrie	Posted - 2004.08.01 15:58:00 - [31] Like mentioned earlier, the AU is not really tied to the distance between the Earth and the Sun anymore, even though it is originally derived from it. It is now based on the metric system, which in turn is based (for example) on the molecule size of water, which is constant. Or at least constant enough. If water molecules get any bigger or smaller, we (and everything else) are getting bigger and smaller with them, so it doesn't really matter much.

This is because scientific journals and textbooks are all written for the international market which is majority metric. If people confuse the matter by using other systems of measurement then bad things happen... like crashing into planets. I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century.

Lol :) Even meters are different. Can't remember the full story, but something about how wood retracts in different climates. First rulers were in wood. Physics teacher once showed me 2 rulers, differing in lenght by a centimeter or so, both 1 meter long. Anyway, meters are easier. working in 1s, 10s, 100s and so on makes the basic math much simpler imo, especially when you move away from only addition and subtraction.
