  21. EARTH Earth has an average distance from the Sun of 92,955,820 mi (149,597,890 km)

  22. Astronomical Unit (AU) In our solar system we tend to describe distances in terms of the Astronomical Unit (AU).

  23. Astronomical Unit (AU) The Astronomical Unit (AU) is defined as the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.

  24. Astronomical Unit (AU)

  25. Astronomical Unit (AU)

  26. Earth • Average distance from the Sun: 92,955,820 mi (149,597,890 km) • The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 • It orbits far above the Earth’s atmosphere and returns data

  27. Earth to Moon • In 1959 Luna 1 left Earth and passed within the 5,995 km (3,725 mi) of the Moon’s surface after 83 hours of flight.
