Convert link to astronomical unit
Please provide values below to convert link [li] to astronomical unit [AU, UA], or Convert astronomical unit to link.
1 li = 1.3447e-12 AU, UA. To convert link to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 1.3447e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 743646458184 li). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 li = 1.3447e-12 AU, UA
- 1 AU, UA = 743646458184 li
- 10 li = 1.3447e-11 AU, UA
- 100 li = 1.3447e-10 AU, UA
How to Convert Link to Astronomical Unit
1 li = 1.3447250222125e-12 AU, UA
Example: convert 15 li to AU, UA:
15 li = 15 × 1.3447250222125e-12 AU, UA = 2.01708753331875e-11 AU, UA

Link
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
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.
