The formula to convert astronomical units (AU) to miles is:
\[ M = AU \cdot CF \]
Where:
Let's say the distance is 2 AU. The distance in miles would be calculated as follows:
\[ M = 2 \cdot 92955807.3 = 185911614.6 \text{ miles} \]
So, the distance is approximately 185,911,614.6 miles.
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. It is approximately equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is about 92,955,807.3 miles. The astronomical unit provides a convenient way to express and relate distances of celestial objects in a manner that is easier to comprehend than using miles or kilometers.
Definition: An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Formula: \( 1 \text{ AU} = 92,955,807.3 \text{ miles} \)
Example: \( 1 \text{ AU} = 92,955,807.3 \text{ miles} \)
Definition: An astronomical unit (AU) can also be converted to kilometers.
Formula: \( 1 \text{ AU} = 149,597,870.7 \text{ kilometers} \)
Example: \( 1 \text{ AU} = 149,597,870.7 \text{ kilometers} \)
