The table shows the following for every contact:
• value of average sun distance - astronomical unit, AU base on our measurements.
• relevant size of the angle under which we could observe the Earth radius (sun parallax Π)
• their deviation from exact figures Δ(AU) and Δ(Π)
• error expressed as percentage.
In the lower part of the table you can see the average value given from our measurements.
