Resolution B3 defined the nominal solar radius (symbol ) to be equal to exactly 695 700 km. [5] The nominal value, which is the rounded value, within the uncertainty, given by Haberreiter, Schmutz & Kosovichev (2008), was adopted to help astronomers avoid confusion when quoting stellar radii in units of the Sun's radius, even when future ...
One galactic year is approximately 225 million Earth years. [2] The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the Galactic Center, [3] a speed at which an object could circumnavigate the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed corresponds to ...
A value of 9.460 536 207 × 10 15 m found in some modern sources [15] [16] is the product of a mean Gregorian year (365.2425 days or 31 556 952 s) and the defined speed of light (299 792 458 m/s). Another value, 9.460 528 405 × 10 15 m , [ 17 ] is the product of the J1900.0 mean tropical year and the defined speed of light.
The values in km s −1 kpc −1 can be converted into milliarcseconds per year by dividing by 4.740. This gives the following values for the average proper motion of stars in our neighborhood at different galactic longitudes, after correction for the effect due to the Sun's velocity with respect to the local standard of rest:
The length of the tropical year was given as 365 solar days 5 hours 49 minutes 16 seconds (≈ 365.24255 days). This length was used in devising the Gregorian calendar of 1582. [7] In Uzbekistan, Ulugh Beg's Zij-i Sultani was published in 1437 and gave an estimate of 365 solar days 5 hours 49 minutes 15 seconds (365.242535 days). [8]

For celestial bodies in the solar system, the synodic period (with respect to Earth and the Sun) differs from the tropical period owing to Earth's motion around the Sun. For example, the synodic period of the Moon 's orbit as seen from Earth , relative to the Sun , is 29.5 mean solar days, since the Moon's phase and position relative to the Sun ...
The researchers said Agri-PV created a “union between agricultural and energy productions” that would also generate more value from the land than solar farms or agricultural production alone.
