An astronomical unit (abbreviated AU) is a unit of measure on the interplanetary scale, roughly equal to the (average) distance between Earth and Sol. One astronomical unit is equal to 150 million kilometers, or approximately 93 million miles.
The map of the inner system of the Talosian system depicted the distance from the binary stars on a line. At every 10 intervals, there was a mark which represented one astronomical unit. The map showed that the inner system reached 3.4 astronomical units. (TOS: "The Cage")
A map of the Talosian system
The intense energy cloud created by V'Ger was approximately 2 AU in diameter. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
The nucleogenic cloud being measured 7 AU in diameter. (VOY: "The Cloud")
When searching for Harry Kim in 2371, the USS Voyager performed a subspace scan with a scan radius of 10 AU. (VOY: "Emanations")
When Captain Sisko's runabout was approached by two Jem'Hadar attack ships in the Badlands in 2373, they initially were 1 AU away. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")
