Convert point to astronomical unit
Please provide values below to convert point [point] to astronomical unit [AU, UA], or Convert astronomical unit to point.
1 point = 2.3582e-15 AU, UA. To convert point to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 2.3582e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 4.2406e+14 point). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 point = 2.3582e-15 AU, UA
- 1 AU, UA = 4.2406e+14 point
- 10 point = 2.3582e-14 AU, UA
- 100 point = 2.3582e-13 AU, UA
How to Convert Point to Astronomical Unit
1 point = 2.35817393890219e-15 AU, UA
Example: convert 15 point to AU, UA:
15 point = 15 × 2.35817393890219e-15 AU, UA = 3.53726090835329e-14 AU, UA

Point
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
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.
