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".


Foot


A foot (plural: feet) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries. One foot equals 12 inches or about 0.3048 meters. Feet are often used to measure height, room dimensions, and short distances. For example, a person might be 5 feet 8 inches tall. The abbreviation for foot is "ft".
