Question

In astronomy, the unit defined as the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is the astronomical unit (AU). This is a fundamental unit of measurement in the field of astronomy (which falls under Natural Science, specifically in the subfield related to celestial measurements, like Physics or Astronomy (categorized under Natural Science's 'Others' or related subfields here)). So the term to fill in the blank is "astronomical".
