Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (yottameter) The yottametre (or yottameter), symbol: Ym, is a unit of distance. One yottametre is equal to 1x10+24 (1e+24) in scientific notation. Which is a very large distance. Note this is different from a yoctometre, which is 1e-24, a very small distance. Unit Definition (astronomical unit) An Astronomical Unit is approximately the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a derived constant and used to indicate distances within the solar system. Its formal definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular orbit a massless body would revolve about the sun in 2*(pi)/k days (i.e., 365.2568983.... days), where k is defined as the Gaussian constant exactly equal to 0.01720209895. Since an AU is based on radius of a circular orbit, one AU is actually slightly less than the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 150 million km or 93 million miles).
