15.7 billion miles (168 AU)

Americans will convert their miles to every yee yee ass unit under the sun before using metric.

To be fair AU means more to me than miles or km in this case.. 168 times further from us than we are to the sun.

But since you want metric ~25.1 terameters.

You think you're being witty, but you've just unintentionally shown why the metric system is so good.

25.1 terameters => 25,100 gigameters => 25,100,000 kilometers.

Easy as pie.

Edit: Ahh crap, I forgot about megameters. It comes out to 25,100,000,000 km. Sorry for the metric ton of confusion.

Psst. You forgot the megameters.
