Measures of Astronomical Distances • Let’s view the Universe in terms of kilometres – The size of the observable universe is roughly 130‚000‚000‚000‚000‚000‚000‚000 km ! - Obviously measuring astronomical distances in km is inconvenient. - We need much BIGGER units of distance: • Some commonly used distance units: 1 ly (light year) = Distance traveled by light in 1 year = 9.46 trillion km 1 AU (astronomical unit) = average distance between the Sun & Earth = 150 million km A unit of distance‚
