Astronomical Units
1 A.U. = 1.5 X 108 km
Average Distance from the Earth to the Sun Astronomical Unit
Distance that light travels in a year Light Year
speed of light in a vacuum: c = 3 x105 km/s (186,000 mi/s)
so one light second: 3x105 km
and one light year: 9.46x1012 km more practical to use

Looking Backwards in Time
on a planet orbitting
a distant star
70 years old
here on Earth
70 years old
55 light years away
15 years old
68 light years away
2 years old
Because of the finite speed of light,
we are able to look backwards in time!!!

Astronomical Distance Scales are
Astronomical! Alpha Centauri:
4.2 light years away
Andromeda Galaxy:
2.4 million light years away
Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field:
as far as billions of light years away
The Sun:
8.3 light minutes away
The finite speed of light gives us a fossil record of the history of the Universe!!!!
The Moon:
1.3 light seconds away
