Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
Millimeter
A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "milli-" comes from the Latin word "mille," meaning thousand. The millimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The millimeter is widely used in engineering and manufacturing for high-precision measurements. It is also a common unit in construction and for measuring small objects.
