Distance in Astronomical Tides Formulas

Distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun is called an astronomical unit (AU). One astronomical unit is approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers. And is denoted by r_s. Distance is usually measured using the Kilometer for Length. Note that the value of Distance is always positive.
