To help compare distances at different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths starting at 1011 metres (100 Gm or 100 million kilometres or 0.7 astronomical units).
Distances shorter than 1011 m
- 109 Gm — 0.7 AU — Distance between Venus and the Sun
- 149.6 Gm (93.0 million mi) — 1.0 AU — Distance between the Earth and the Sun - the definition of the astronomical unit
- 180 Gm — 1.2 AU — Maximum diameter of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole in the center of Milky Way galaxy
- 228 Gm — 1.5 AU — Distance between Mars and the Sun
- 290 Gm — 1.9 AU — Minimum diameter of Betelgeuse
- 480 Gm — 3.2 AU — Maximum diameter of Betelgeuse
- 570 Gm — 3.8 AU — Length of the tail of Comet Hyakutake measured by Ulysses; the actual value could be much higher
- 591 Gm — 4.0 AU — Minimum distance between the Earth and Jupiter
- 624 Gm — 4.2 AU — Diameter of Antares
- 780 Gm — 5.2 AU — Distance between Jupiter and the Sun
- 965 Gm — 6.4 AU — Maximum distance between the Earth and Jupiter
