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.

    Your little off-by-one-thousand mistake is evidence that meters are ill-fitted for astronomy. au, al and pc exist for a reason

    I checked and only au (astronomical unit) is listed in SI, while not being a SI unit per se

    Idk what these imperialist donkeys are talking about. 1 terameter is 10^6 kilometers. You're spot on.
