Aln


An aln is an old Scandinavian unit of length traditionally used in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, mainly for measuring cloth and textiles. It is roughly equivalent to 59.4 centimeters (about 23.4 inches), though the exact length varied by region and time period.


The aln was based on the length of the forearm, similar to the cubit in other cultures, and was commonly used by tailors and merchants.


Though obsolete today, the aln reflects historical measurement practices tied to the human body and remains of interest in historical and cultural studies of Scandinavia.


Summary:



  • 1 aln ≈ 59.4 cm (23.4 inches)



  • Used primarily for measuring textiles



  • Traditional Scandinavian unit based on the forearm length



  • Now mostly of historical interest


Earth’s Distance from the Sun


The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is known as an Astronomical Unit (AU).



  • It is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (about 93 million miles).



  • This distance varies slightly throughout the year because Earth’s orbit is elliptical—closest at perihelion (~147.1 million km) and farthest at aphelion (~152.1 million km).



  • The astronomical unit is a fundamental standard for measuring distances within our solar system.



Key facts:



  • Average distance ≈ 149.6 million km (1 AU)



  • Varies due to elliptical orbit



  • Basis for measuring planetary distances



Understanding Earth’s distance from the Sun is essential for studying seasons, climate, and orbital mechanics.
