In science we use very big and very small numbers. Scientists have developed units of
measurement which make the numbers easier to manage. For example, instead of saying that
the Sun is 93 million miles from the Earth, it is easier to say the Sun is one
from
the Earth. In science that is the unit of measure for the distance from the Sun to the Earth.
A) space unit b) light unit. C) planetary unit d) astronomical unit

Respuesta :

D) Astronomical unit. The astronomical unit eventually came to be defined by a mathematical expression that involved the mass of the sun, the length of a day, and a fixed number known as the Gaussian gravitational constant. Because the Earth orbits its star in an ellipse rather than a circle, the length of a day shifts over the course of a year. At the same time, the sun is constantly transforming mass into energy.

Astronomical Unit
