Convert Bohr radius to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert Bohr radius [a.u.] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to Bohr radius.
1 a.u. = 1.7149e-30 kpc. To convert Bohr radius to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 1.7149e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 5.8311e+29 a.u.). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 a.u. = 1.7149e-30 kpc
- 1 kpc = 5.8311e+29 a.u.
- 10 a.u. = 1.7149e-29 kpc
- 100 a.u. = 1.7149e-28 kpc
How to Convert Bohr Radius to Kiloparsec
1 a.u. = 1.71494654565785e-30 kpc
Example: convert 15 a.u. to kpc:
15 a.u. = 15 × 1.71494654565785e-30 kpc = 2.57241981848677e-29 kpc

Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 Bohr radius in kiloparsec?
1 Bohr radius (a.u.) = 1.7149e-30 kiloparsec (kpc).
How do you convert Bohr radius to kiloparsec?
Multiply the Bohr radius value by 1.7149e-30. For example, 25 a.u. × 1.7149e-30 = 4.2874e-29 kpc.
