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.


Pica


A pica is a unit of length commonly used in typography and printing to measure font sizes, line lengths, and spacing. It is equal to 1/6 of an inch, or exactly 12 points in the point system.


Key facts:



  • 1 pica = 1/6 inch ≈ 4.233 millimeters



  • 1 pica = 12 points



  • Used primarily in graphic design, printing, and typesetting



  • Helps standardize the measurement of fonts, columns, and layouts



The pica remains a fundamental unit in desktop publishing and print design, helping maintain consistency in text and page formatting.
