An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the distance from Earth to the Sun, about 149.6 million km. A Parsec (pc) is the distance at which a length of 1 AU would subtend an angle θ of exactly 1-second of an arc. A light-year (Ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s, would cover in 1 year (365 days). Express the Earth-Sun distance in: a) Parsec (pc) units. b) Light-year (Ly) units.
