Convert astronomical unit to petameter
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU, UA] to petameter [Pm], or Convert petameter to astronomical unit.
1 AU, UA = 0.0001495978707 Pm. To convert astronomical unit to petameter, multiply the value by 0.0001495978707; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pm = 6684.58712227 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.
Petameter
A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
