Convert astronomical unit to chain
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU, UA] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to astronomical unit.
1 AU, UA = 7436464581.84 ch. To convert astronomical unit to chain, multiply the value by 7436464581.84; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 1.3447e-10 AU, UA). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
