minus-squareEzTerry@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·14 hours agoTo be fair AU means more to me than miles or km in this case… 168 times further from us than we are to the sun. But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.
minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up14·edit-23 hours ago But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters. You think you’re being witty, but you’ve just unintentionally shown why the metric system is so good. 25.1 terameters => 25,100 gigameters => 25,100,000 kilometers. Easy as pie. Edit: Ahh crap, I forgot about megameters. It comes out to 25,100,000,000 km. Sorry for the metric ton of confusion.
minus-squareDevjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 hours agoIdk what these imperialist donkeys are talking about. 1 terameter is 10^6 kilometers. You’re spot on.
minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 hours agoThanks for the support, but I was indeed mistaken.
minus-squareDevjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 hours agoOhh, now I see it. The typo at the bottom. Missed that.
minus-squareThebular@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 hours agoYou’re missing a few zeroes there I think
minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 hours agoHow could I forget about the megameters???
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 hours agoYour little off-by-one-thousand mistake is evidence that meters are ill-fitted for astronomy. au, al and pc exist for a reason I checked and only au (astronomical unit) is listed in SI, while not being a SI unit per se
minus-squareThreeme2189@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoNever said they were fitted, just that the conversion between units is (supposed to be) simple.
minus-squareHadriscus@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoIt is but I would advise using scientific notation with exponent instead, it’s harder to make a mistake

Just a few 😉
Psst. You forgot the megameters.

Is Pi in metrics is 1.0?
It’s quiche in metric.
