Difference between Astronomical unit and Metric system

Astronomical unit vs. Metric system

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun. The metric system is an internationally adopted decimal system of measurement.

Similarities between Astronomical unit and Metric system

Astronomical unit and Metric system have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Albert Einstein, Imperial units, International Bureau of Weights and Measures, International System of Units, Length, Metre, Minute and second of arc, NASA, Solar mass, United States customary units.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).
