This distance from the Earth to the Sun given above is a standard for measuring other distances in the solar system and is called an Astronomical Unit or AU. 1AU=_________miles. Write this as a ratio:_________

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Astronomical Unit (AU) is approximately [tex]92.96\times 10^{6}\,mi[/tex], the ratio of Astronomical Units per mile is [tex]r = 1\,AU\,:\,92.96\times 10^{6}\,mi[/tex].

Explanation:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately [tex]92.96\times 10^{6}\,mi[/tex], then the Astronomical Unit (AU) is approximately [tex]92.96\times 10^{6}\,mi[/tex]. The ratio can be described by the quantity of miles per Astronomical Unit, then we define:

[tex]r = 1\,AU\,:\,92.96\times 10^{6}\,mi[/tex].
