If Diameter of the star UY Scuti, largest known star (2.377 billion km) was a standard unit ...

  • A light year (9.46 trillion km)...more would be 4000 x Diameter of the star UY Scuti, largest known star
  • Distance to Pluto (dwarf planet) (5.92 billion km)...more would be 2.5 x Diameter of the star UY Scuti, largest known star
  • Length (circumference) of Earth's orbit around the Sun (940 million km)...more would be 2/5 of Diameter of the star UY Scuti, largest known star
