    A billion kilometers? How much is that? A few miles? Half a parsec? A couple pounds sterling? This is really worrisome…

      Approximately 5X10^12 bananas if that helps?

        This is grossly inaccurate and you should be ashamed. A billion km is 5 quadrillion bananas, or 5x10^15.

        Unless… are my bananas smaller?

            A lot of girls prefer the smaller ones cause they’re flavourful, and exotic …

        What? Not it’s not. Where did you get this number?

        It’s more like 6.7 AU. Source

        In other words somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn in terms of distance to the sun.

          You’re right. Major fuckup on my part, I guess. I was using Google search’s calculator function. I tried to reverse-engineer my mistake and couldn’t find anything sensible I would have entered to get 541 AU.

        Thank you, this is the only measurement that makes any sense in any distance past like the moon before you get into longer units like parsecs or light years. Even though an AU is still only 150M km, it makes the math a lot easier for me to grok.

      Thats 6.685 astronomical units (around 6.5x the distance from the earth to the sun)
