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.


Cubit (Greek)


The Greek cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the forearm’s length—from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. In ancient Greece, it typically measured about 18 to 20 inches (approximately 45 to 50 centimeters), though the exact length could vary by region and period.


The Greek cubit was widely used in architecture, construction, and land measurement. It played a crucial role in building temples, monuments, and other structures in classical Greece.


Key points:



  • Greek cubit ≈ 18 to 20 inches (45–50 cm)



  • Based on the length of the forearm



  • Used in ancient Greek construction and land surveying



  • Important for classical architecture and engineering



This unit reflects how ancient civilizations used the human body as a natural measuring tool before standardized systems.
