About These Units
Astronomical Unit (AU)
An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from Earth to the Sun: approximately 149.6 million kilometers or 93 million miles. AUs measure distances within our solar system. Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun, Jupiter is 5.2 AU.
Hectometer (hm)
A hectometer (hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters or 0.1 kilometers. While rarely used in everyday measurements, hectometers appear in scientific contexts and land surveying. One hectometer equals approximately 328 feet or 109 yards.
