= Comoving and proper distances
{wiki}

<Comoving and proper distances> are two cosmological distance conventions. For simultaneous radial separations in an FLRW model, proper distance equals the <comoving radial distance> multiplied by the <scale factor> at that cosmic time. A <comoving coordinate> remains fixed on an ideal comoving observer's worldline.
