Astronomical Units unit in Length

An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers or about 93 million miles. Astronomical units are used to measure distances within our solar system, such as the distances between planets. This unit provides a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial objects while staying within the context of our solar system.

Parsecs unit in Length

A parsec (pc) is a unit of length used in astronomy, equal to approximately 3.26 light-years, or about 31 trillion kilometers. Parsecs are used to measure distances to stars and other celestial objects outside our solar system. This unit is derived from the method of parallax, where the apparent shift in position of a star relative to more distant stars is used to calculate its distance from Earth.
