			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.

	From the Feb 26, 2021 Dev Log;

	The basic unit of length on the game's planets had to be meters instead of kilometers. After several iterations, we finally set Icarus's height as 3m, vegetation height as 1m ~ 6m, and building height as 2m ~ 30m.

	Planet diameter: 1D = 400m

⚫	Giant planet ~~diameter:~~ 4D = ~~1600m~~

	Star radius: 1R ⊙ = 1600m

	Radius of red giant: about 25 R ⊙ about 40000 m (HUGE!)

	Astronomical unit: 1AU = 40000 m

	Radius of planetary system: 1AU ~ 10au (according to the last development log)

	The radius of Dyson sphere is 0.2au ~ 1AU
⚫	{{note\| ~~the above~~ values for Dyson sphere radius range are ~~incorrect or misleading. The radius allowed is partially~~ dependent upon the radius of the star. The absolute minimum radius observed is 4,000m. On a 20.03R Radius Red Giant, the range was 21,700m-72,100m for the Dyson Sphere.}}
