AU, or astronomical unit , is the unit of measurement for the distance from Earth and our Sun. As such, we are 1 AU from the sun. It equates to roughly 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles. As my Astronomy Professor told us when we were covering astronomical system of units, Astronomers didn’t give a shit and don’t put a lot of thought when it comes to naming things. She would then point to the names of some of the largest telescopes on the planet as an example. You have the TMT, the ELT, etc. etc..
