Astronomical Unit
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of distance used in astronomy to describe the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. It equals about 149.6 million kilometers (or about 93 million miles). The AU is useful for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distance from Earth to other planets. For example, Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun. Using the AU makes it easier to understand and compare distances between planets without dealing with very large numbers. The symbol for astronomical unit is "AU".
Centiinch
A centiinch is a very small unit of length equal to one-hundredth of an inch (0.01 inch). It is not commonly used in everyday measurement but may appear in fields requiring precise fractional measurements based on the inch.
Key details:
1 centiinch = 0.01 inch
Equivalent to 0.254 millimeters
Used for fine measurements where inch subdivisions are preferred
Rare and mostly of specialized or historical interest
The centiinch allows for more detailed measurements within the inch system, similar to how centimeters subdivide a meter.
