The Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric is The Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric is
\begin{equation} \begin{equation}
ds^2 = -c^2 dt^2 + a^2(t)\left[\frac{dr^2}{1-kr^2} + r^2 \, d\Omega^2 \right]. ds^2 = -c^2 dt^2 + a^2(t)\left[\frac{dr^2}{1-kr^2} + r^2 \, d\Omega^2 \right].
\end{equation} \end{equation}
Above, $d\Omega^2 = d\theta^2 + \sin^2\theta\, d\phi^2$, and $r, \theta, \phi$ are comoving coordinates, while $k = 0$ for spacially flat universe and $k \pm 1$ for positively/negatively curved universe. We defined the comoving distance $\chi$ and proper distance $D_p$ and showed that, for a spatially flat universe, $D_p(t) = a(t)\, \chi$. Above, $d\Omega^2 = d\theta^2 + \sin^2\theta\, d\phi^2$, and $r, \theta, \phi$ are comoving coordinates, while $k = 0$ for spacially flat universe
and $k = \pm 1$ for positively/negatively curved universe. We defined the comoving distance $\chi$ and proper distance $D_p$ and showed that,
for a spatially flat universe, $D_p(t) = a(t)\, \chi$.
