Convert astronomical unit to attometer
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU, UA] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to astronomical unit.
1 AU, UA = 1.4960e+29 am. To convert astronomical unit to attometer, multiply the value by 1.4960e+29; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 6.6846e-30 AU, UA). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 AU, UA = 1.4960e+29 am
- 1 am = 6.6846e-30 AU, UA
- 10 AU, UA = 1.4960e+30 am
- 100 AU, UA = 1.4960e+31 am
How to Convert Astronomical Unit to Attometer
1 AU, UA = 1.495978707e+29 am
Example: convert 15 AU, UA to am:
15 AU, UA = 15 × 1.495978707e+29 am = 2.2439680605e+30 am

Astronomical Unit
The astronomical unit is a unit of length, now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters. It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
History/Origin
Historically, the astronomical unit was the mean Earth-Sun distance. In 2012, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined it as a fixed constant.
Current Use
The astronomical unit is used primarily for measuring distances within the Solar System or around other stars.
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
