Distance to Sun - Hanuman chalisa

Distance between earth and sun is explained in  ” Hanuman Chalisa”.


“! जुग सहस्त्र योजन पर भानु, 

लील्यो ताहिमधुर फल जानू !”


This means that Sun (भानु) is at a distance of  Juug Sahastra Yojans (जुग सहस्त्र योजन- Distance Unit in Hindi)

According to following conversion practices that are in use as per Hindu Vedic Literature-

1 Juug = 12000

1 Sahastra= 1000

1 Yojan = 8 Miles

Thus

12000 X 1000 X 8 =  96,000,000  miles

1 mile = 1.6 kms

This further implies that distance is  96,000,000 * 1.6 kms = 153,600,000 Kms


According to Modern Astronomy and Science, distance between earth and sun is =  152,171,522 km.
