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".
Dekameter
A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 10 meters. It sits between a meter and a hectometer in size. Although it is an official part of the metric system, the dekameter is rarely used in everyday life, education, or even science. For example, a small swimming pool might be around 2 dekameters long. The symbol for dekameter is "dam". Since most people prefer using meters or kilometers, the dekameter is more of a theoretical unit used mainly for teaching the structure of the metric system.
