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.
Hectometer
A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 100 meters. It is larger than a meter but smaller than a kilometer. While it is part of the official metric system, the hectometer is rarely used in daily life or science. For example, a running track is 400 meters long, which is 4 hectometers. The symbol for hectometer is "hm". Although not commonly seen, it can be useful for measuring medium-range distances, especially when kilometers feel too large and meters too small.
