Astronomical Unit (AU)

Our universe is vast place so the researchers have to use some unit of length to determine the distance between different celestial objects.

For this purpose, the scientists use astronomical unit as a unit of length. It is approximately the distance between the sun and the earth. Since, the earth revolves around the sun in an oval-shaped orbit, therefore the distance between them keeps on fluctuating. Roughly the distance is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) or 8 light minutes.
