Convert astronomical unit to picometer
Please provide values below to convert astronomical unit [AU, UA] to picometer [pM], or Convert picometer to astronomical unit.
1 AU, UA = 1.4960e+23 pM. To convert astronomical unit to picometer, multiply the value by 1.4960e+23; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 6.6846e-24 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+23 pM
- 1 pM = 6.6846e-24 AU, UA
- 10 AU, UA = 1.4960e+24 pM
- 100 AU, UA = 1.4960e+25 pM
How to Convert Astronomical Unit to Picometer
1 AU, UA = 1.495978707e+23 pM
Example: convert 15 AU, UA to pM:
15 AU, UA = 15 × 1.495978707e+23 pM = 2.2439680605e+24 pM

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.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
