Return to Mechanics.

The basic unit of length and distance in Dyson Sphere Program is the meter. Icarus's height was set as 3m, vegetation height as 1m ~ 6m, and building height as 2m ~ 30m. Distances between astronomical bodies are (beyond a certain range) given in AU (astronomical units), and ly (light years). However, in the game, these value differ from their real-world equivalents. Below are two tables, one for basic distance/length conversions and one supplying the diameters of different astronomical objects and structures.

Distance conversions
Distance Conversion
1 AU 40000 m (40 km)
1 ly 60 AU (2400 km)
Diameters of objects and bodies
Object Diameter
Planet 400 m (1 D)
Giant planet 1600 m (4 D)
Star 1600 m (1 R ⊙)
Red giant 40000 m (25 R ⊙ / 1 AU)
Planetary system 40000 - 400000 m (1 - 10 AU)
Dyson sphere 4000 - 72100 m
