Answer 2

Light year, Astronomical Unit(AU) and parsec are some units that are used to measure astronomical distances.

Explanation:

• The astronomical unit (symbol: AU or AU) is a unit of length, approximately equal to the distance from Earth to the Sun and approximately 150 million kilometers (93 million miles).
• The actual distance from Earth to the Sun varies by about 3% as Earth orbits the Sun, from maximum (aphelion) to minimum (perihelion) and back again once each year.
• Light year is the distance that light travels in one year.
• Light zips through interstellar space at 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second and 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers) per year.
• The parsec is a unit of length used to measure large distances to celestial bodies outside the Solar System, approximately 3.26 light-years, or equivalent to 206,000 astronomical units, i.e. 30.9 trillion kilometers.
