Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
