Convert ken to astronomical unit
Please provide values below to convert ken [ken] to astronomical unit [AU, UA], or Convert astronomical unit to ken.
1 ken = 1.4160e-11 AU, UA. To convert ken to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 1.4160e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 70619663654.9 ken). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ken = 1.4160e-11 AU, UA
- 1 AU, UA = 70619663654.9 ken
- 10 ken = 1.4160e-10 AU, UA
- 100 ken = 1.41603619763e-09 AU, UA
How to Convert Ken to Astronomical Unit

Ken
The ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length, equal to six Japanese feet (shaku). Its length has varied over time, but it is now standardized at 1.818 meters.
History/Origin
The ken was traditionally used in Japanese architecture and land measurement.
Current Use
The ken is still used in traditional Japanese carpentry and architecture.
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.
