Question
An object is 61300 AU away from you. What is this distance in...
meters (m)
kilometers (km)
Earth radii (Re)
light-years (ly)
parsecs (pc)
Note: the point of this problem is to practice unit conversions, not to Google them; all the conversion factors are given in Appendix E, page 1079 of Astronomy 2e. It will be handy to convert AU to m first, and then use that for your other answers, rather than starting from AU. Be careful of
cumulative rounding errors.
