We propose to two observers located on two different sites to calculate themselves the astronomical unit using their own observations. |
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. |
In naming these enormous distances what astronomical unit is used? |
Today the distance between the Earth and sun, known as an astronomical unit, is accurately measured by radar. |
That was one astronomical unit, equal to about ninety-three million miles, the distance from Earth to the sun. |
We are, so to speak, an astronomical unit, and we affect each other for better or for worse. |
