Defintion page

[Tranan]

I´m thinking that a page that define different terms and explains them.

Like 1Bar=1kg/cm^2
and 1Au=Mean Earth-Sun distance aprx 1.495978707X108km

I can see the usefulness of this tool---but there exists something called an "Astronomy Barchart" ---that may be available at Amazon--if you can get a hold of Amazon on your servers--I am unsure of your internet situations.

Possibly translating the facts on the barchart to other languages maybe of greater importance--since the one which I am familiar with is in the English Language.

The image is courtesy of AMAZON.com--it is an academic tool--So I don't believe that I am breaking copyright laws?

And as a plus for users with English as a second language, the site is available in other languages as well. :)
