    Your little off-by-one-thousand mistake is evidence that meters are ill-fitted for astronomy. au, al and pc exist for a reason

    I checked and only au (astronomical unit) is listed in SI, while not being a SI unit per se

      Never said they were fitted, just that the conversion between units is (supposed to be) simple.

        It is but I would advise using scientific notation with exponent instead, it’s harder to make a mistake
