Convert Earth's distance from sun to chain
Please provide values below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to chain [ch], or Convert chain to Earth's distance from sun.
1 AU_dist = 7436464581.84 ch. To convert Earth's distance from sun to chain, multiply the value by 7436464581.84; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ch = 1.3447e-10 AU_dist). 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_dist = 7436464581.84 ch
- 1 ch = 1.3447e-10 AU_dist
- 10 AU_dist = 74364645818.4 ch
- 100 AU_dist = 743646458184 ch
How to Convert Earth's Distance From Sun to Chain
1 AU_dist = 7436464581.84204 ch
Example: convert 15 AU_dist to ch:
15 AU_dist = 15 × 7436464581.84204 ch = 111546968727.631 ch

Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
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.
