Mnemonic for the Astronomical unit AU 92955807 miles (Earth Sun distance)

Recently we talked about a mnemonic for the Astronomical unit in kilometers. The astronomical unit, commonly abbreviated as AU, is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun.
Let's now learn a mnemonic for the Astronomical unit in miles. Its value: 92955807 miles.
Yet again, let's make use of the mnemonic major system. This system helps you to remember a long number by retaining a keyword and by mapping the consonants to digits.

For the Astronomical unit in miles, let's remember the following keyword:

Pinball Fiasco

P = 9; N = 2; ... On the following link you will find more information on how to use the major system.

Use mnemonic association to link this keyword to the Astonomical unit. For example, think of the Sun and the Earth as two huge pinballs and think that something went wrong. A good mnemonic association is visual, funny and unreal.

Mnemonic for the AU distance Astronomical unit 149597870 km

The astronomical unit, commonly abbreviated as AU, is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. The value: 149597870 kilometers. How can we memorize such a large number as the AU?

As commonly used in this number mnemonics blog, let's use the mnemonic major system. All we need to do is find a keyword that matches 149597870, the astronomical unit, which can be quite hard, unless you use a mnemonic generator for numbers.

Let's start from the following word: Pacific Asia, a very large region near to the Western Pacific Ocean. But the UA is not just a large number, the Astronomical Unit is a huge distance, so let's triple this.

Triple Pacific Asia

Yes, we have a perfect match for the Astronomical Unit AU according to the mnemonic major system!

• T - 1 (1 downstroke)
• R - 4 (fouR)
• P - 9 (mirror image of P)
• L - 5 (L is 50 in Latin)
• etc...
