Difference between Astronomical constant and Astronomical unit

Astronomical constant vs. Astronomical unit

An astronomical constant is a physical constant used in astronomy. The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Similarities between Astronomical constant and Astronomical unit

Astronomical constant and Astronomical unit have 28 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aberration of light, Astronomy, Barycentric Dynamical Time, Earth, Earth radius, Ephemeris, Frame of reference, Gaussian gravitational constant, Gravitational constant, International Astronomical Union, International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, International System of Units, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Julian year (astronomy), Light-year, Mars, Mercury (planet), NASA, Parallax, Parsec, Proper length, Solar mass, Speed of light, Standard gravitational parameter, Terrestrial Time, United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, United States Naval Observatory, Venus.

Aberration of light

The aberration of light (also referred to as astronomical aberration, stellar aberration, or velocity aberration) is an astronomical phenomenon which produces an apparent motion of celestial objects about their true positions, dependent on the velocity of the observer.

Barycentric Dynamical Time

Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB, from the French Temps Dynamique Barycentrique) is a relativistic coordinate time scale, intended for astronomical use as a time standard to take account of time dilation when calculating orbits and astronomical ephemerides of planets, asteroids, comets and interplanetary spacecraft in the Solar System.

Ephemeris

In astronomy and celestial navigation, an ephemeris (plural: ephemerides) gives the positions of naturally occurring astronomical objects as well as artificial satellites in the sky at a given time or times.

Frame of reference

In physics, a frame of reference (or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix (locate and orient) the coordinate system and standardize measurements.

Gaussian gravitational constant

The Gaussian gravitational constant (symbol) is a parameter used in the orbital mechanics of the solar system.

Gravitational constant

The gravitational constant (also known as the "universal gravitational constant", the "Newtonian constant of gravitation", or the "Cavendish gravitational constant"), denoted by the letter, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational effects in Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
