Astronomical Unit
The astronomical unit is a unit of length, now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters. It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
History/Origin
Historically, the astronomical unit was the mean Earth-Sun distance. In 2012, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined it as a fixed constant.
Current Use
The astronomical unit is used primarily for measuring distances within the Solar System or around other stars.
Point
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
