  • A.Earth and the sun
  • B.Earth and the moon
  • C.Jupiter and the sun
  • D.Pluto and the sun

Answer: A

One astronomical unit is the average distance between the earth and the sun.

It is about \(1.496\times10^{11}\) m, or 150 million km, and light covers it in some eight minutes. It is the natural yardstick for distances inside the solar system: Jupiter is 5.2 AU from the sun and Neptune 30.
