Elliptical orbit<\/h2>

The AU is the average distance from the\u00a0Earth<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0sun<\/a>. Earth makes a complete revolution around the sun every 365.25 days \u2014 one year. However, Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle; it is shaped more like an oval, or an ellipse. Over the course of a year, Earth moves sometimes closer to the sun and sometimes farther away from the sun. Earth’s closest approach to the sun, called perihelion, comes in early January and is about 91 million miles (146 million km), just shy of 1 AU. The farthest from the sun Earth gets is called aphelion. It comes in early July and is about 94.5 million miles (152 million km), just over 1 AU.<\/p>

Finding the distance<\/h2>

Historically, the first person to measure the distance to the sun was the Greek astronomer\u00a0Aristarchus<\/a>\u00a0around the year 250 B.C. He used the phases of the moon to measure the sizes and distances of the sun and moon. During a half moon, the three celestial bodies should form a right angle. By measuring the angle at Earth between the sun and moon, he determined the sun was 19 times as far from the planet as the moon, and thus 19 times as big. In fact, the sun is about 400 times larger than the moon.<\/p>

The sun is at the heart of the solar system. All of the bodies in the solar system \u2014 planets, asteroids, comets, etc. \u2014 revolve around it at various distances. Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, gets as close as 29 million miles (47 million kilometers) in its elliptical orbit, while objects in the Oort Cloud, the solar system’s icy shell, are thought to lie as far as 9.3 trillion miles (15 trillion km).<\/p>

Earth orbits the sun 100,000 times closer than the\u00a0Oort Cloud<\/a>, at an average of 92,955,807 miles (149,597,870,700 meters). The distance from Earth to the sun is called an astronomical unit, or AU, which is used to measure distances throughout the solar system.<\/p>

Jupiter<\/a>, for example, is 5.2 AU from the sun.\u00a0Neptune<\/a>\u00a0is 30.07 AU from the sun. The distance to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about\u00a0268,770 AU<\/a>, according to NASA. However, to measure longer distances, astronomers use light-years, or\u00a0the distance that light travels<\/a> in a single Earth-year, which is equal to 63,239 AU. So Proxima Centauri is about 4.25 light-years away<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

“Aristarchus’ measurement was probably off because first, it is hard to determine the exact centers of the sun and the moon and second, it is hard to know exactly when the moon is half full,” says Cornell University’s\u00a0astronomy website<\/a>.<\/p>

Although imprecise, Aristarchus provided a simple understanding of the sizes and distances of the three bodies, which led him to conclude that the Earth goes around the sun, about 1,700 years before\u00a0Nicolaus Copernicus<\/a>proposed his heliocentric model of the solar system.<\/p>

In 1653, astronomer\u00a0Christiaan Huygens<\/a>\u00a0calculated the distance from Earth to the sun. He used the phases of\u00a0Venus<\/a>\u00a0to find the angles in a Venus-Earth-sun triangle. For example, when Venus appears half illuminated by the sun, the three bodies form a right triangle from Earth’s perspective. Guessing (correctly, by chance) the size of Venus, Huygens was able to determine the distance from Venus to Earth, and knowing that distance, plus the angles made by the triangle, he was able to measure the distance to the sun. However, because Huygens’ method was partly guesswork and not completely scientifically grounded, he usually doesn’t get the credit.<\/p>

In 1672,\u00a0Giovanni Cassini<\/a>\u00a0used a method involving parallax, or angular difference, to find the\u00a0distance to Mars<\/a>\u00a0and at the same time figured out the distance to the sun. He sent a colleague, Jean Richer, to French Guiana while he stayed in Paris. They took measurements of the position of Mars relative to background stars, and triangulated those measurements with the known distance between Paris and French Guiana. Once they had the distance to Mars, they could also calculate the distance to the sun. Since his methods were more scientific, he usually gets the credit.<\/p>

“Expressing distances in the astronomical unit allowed astronomers to overcome the difficulty of measuring distances in some physical unit,” astronomer Nicole Capitaine of Paris University\u00a0told Space.com<\/a>. “Such a practice was useful for many years, because astronomers were not able to make distance measurements in the solar system as precisely as they could measure angles.”<\/p>

New equation<\/h2>

With the advent of spacecraft and radar, more precise methods emerged for making a direct measure of the distance between the Earth and the sun. The\u00a0definition of AU<\/a>\u00a0had been “the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the\u00a0sun<\/a>\u00a0of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with a mean motion of 0.01720209895 radians per day (known as the Gaussian constant).”<\/p>

Along with making things unnecessarily difficult for astronomy professors, that definition actually didn’t jibe with general relativity. Using the old definition, the value of AU would change depending on an observer’s location in the solar system. If an observer on Jupiter used the old definition to calculate the distance between the Earth and the sun, the measurement would vary from one made on Earth by about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet).<\/p>

Moreover, the Gaussian constant depends on the\u00a0mass of the sun<\/a>, and because the sun loses mass as it radiates energy, the value of AU was changing along with it.<\/p>

The International Astronomical Union voted in\u00a0August 2012<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0change the definition<\/a>\u00a0of the astronomical unit to a plain old number: 149,597,870,700 meters. The measurement is based on the speed of light, a fixed distance that has nothing to do with the sun’s mass. A meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1 \/ 299,792,458 of a second.<\/p>

“The new definition is much simpler than the old one,” said astronomer Sergei Klioner of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany. Both Klioner and Capitaine were both part of the\u00a0International Astronomical Union<\/a>\u00a0group that worked to refine the definition.<\/p>
