Unit Information

Astronomical Unit
/astrəˈnɒmɪk(ə)l ˈjuːnɪt/
Symbol: AU
Unit System: Astronomical system of units

What is the Astronomical Unit?

The astronomical unit is a unit of length and is used in the Astronomical system of units and denoted by the symbol au.

It represents the average distance between the Earth and the Sun which is approximately 150 million kilometres (or 93 million miles).

It's used mostly to express distances within our Solar System.

Picometre

Symbol: pm
Unit System: SI

What is the Picometre?

The picometre is a unit of length and is a multiple of the SI unit metre. It uses the symbol pm.

It represents one trillionth of a metre, or one hundredth of an Ångström.

Because the picometre is so small, its use is restricted almost entirely to chemistry, quantum physics and particle physics. Atoms are typically 62 pm and 520 pm.

LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a probe planned for launch in 2034 to detect gravitational waves in space. Its measures these displacements with an accuracy of up to 20 pm over a distance of 2,500,000,000 m.
