Convert kilometer to a.u. of length
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to a.u. of length [a.u., b], or Convert a.u. of length to kilometer.
1 km = 1.8897e+13 a.u., b. To convert kilometer to a.u. of length, multiply the value by 1.8897e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u., b = 5.2918e-14 km). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 km = 1.8897e+13 a.u., b
- 1 a.u., b = 5.2918e-14 km
- 10 km = 1.8897e+14 a.u., b
- 100 km = 1.8897e+15 a.u., b
How to Convert Kilometer to A.u. Of Length
1 km = 18897259885789.2 a.u., b
Example: convert 15 km to a.u., b:
15 km = 15 × 18897259885789.2 a.u., b = 283458898286838 a.u., b

Kilometer
A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand meters.
History/Origin
The term "kilometer" is derived from the Greek words "khilioi" (thousand) and "metron" (measure). The kilometer was first defined as part of the metric system in France in 1795.
Current Use
The kilometer is the most widely used unit of distance for road signs and travel distances in the world, with the notable exceptions of the United States and the United Kingdom.
A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is 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 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
