Because the relative distances to the planets were well known, a definitive astronomical unit allowed the actual distances to be calculated. |

Today the distance between the Earth and sun, known as an astronomical unit, is accurately measured by radar. |
|
We propose to two observers located on two different sites to calculate themselves the astronomical unit using their own observations. |
|
These spectroscopic binary stars are generally much closer to each other than visual binaries, as close as a few hundredths of an astronomical unit. |
|
The President noted that the astronomical unit, a unit of length approximately equal to the mean Earth-Sun distance, also has no recommended symbol. |
|
The values in SI units of all units in this table, except the astronomical unit, are taken from the 2002 CODATA set of recommended values of the fundamental physical constants, P. J. Mohr and B. N. Taylor, Rev. |
|
The information sheet n?05b provides some formulae easy to use in order to be able to calculate the astronomical unit from two observations made from two sites. |

Secular increase of the astronomical unit and perihelion precessions as tests of the Dvali Gabadadze Porrati multidimensional braneworld scenario. |
