The astronomical unit (AU) is defined as the mean center-to-center distance from Earth to the Sun, namely 1.496x10^(11) m. The parsec is the radius of a circle for which a central angle of 1 s intercepts an arc of length 1 AU. The light-year is the distance that light travels in 1 y. (a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?
(b) How many meters are in a parsec?
(c) How many meters in a light-year? (d) How many astronomical units in a light-year? (e) How many light-years in a parsec?
