What is the Earth's distance from the Sun defined as?

It is the average distance between the centers of Earth and the Sun, exactly 149,597,870,700 metres by IAU definition.

What does an attometer measure?

An attometer is an SI length unit equal to one quintillionth of a metre, used to describe extremely small distances in physics.

Why convert astronomical units to attometers?

To translate vast cosmic distances into units relevant for high-energy physics and subatomic scale calculations.
