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.
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.
