To calculate the number of toilet paper squares away the edge of our solar system would be, we need to compare the measurement of 100,000 AU to the conversion rate from AU to toilet paper squares. Let's assume that Earth is 1.0 AU from the sun and that 1 AU is equivalent to 10 toilet paper squares.
First, we need to find the conversion rate by dividing the distance to Earth from the sun (1 AU) by the number of toilet paper squares it represents (10). This gives us a conversion rate of 0.1 AU per toilet paper square.
Next, we can calculate the distance to the edge of our solar system in terms of toilet paper squares by multiplying the conversion rate by 100,000 AU:
100,000 AU * 0.1 AU/toilet paper square = 10,000 toilet paper squares.
Therefore, the edge of our solar system would be approximately 10,000 toilet paper squares away.
