Less distance can be measured easily. At the same time if the distance is high how will we measure? With the scale? No, because the numbers will be huge right? Then, what is the solution? Now, we have found a solution which was called as special units. What are those special units? Let’s see ● Astronomical units(AU) - This is used to measure distances within our solar system. ● Light year - It is used to measure reflected sunlight from the moon’s surface. ● The Parasec(pc) - It is used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System. ● Solar mass(M☉ ) - It is used to indicate the masses of other stars, as well as clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. It is equal to the mass of the Sun. ● Atomic Mass unit(AMU) - It is used to measure the mass of atoms. Are you ready for these special units in this video? Comes! Let’s watch
