Convert terameter to astronomical unit
Please provide values below to convert terameter [Tm] to astronomical unit [AU, UA], or Convert astronomical unit to terameter.
1 Tm = 6.68458712227 AU, UA. To convert terameter to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 6.68458712227; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 0.1495978707 Tm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Tm = 6.68458712227 AU, UA
- 1 AU, UA = 0.1495978707 Tm
- 10 Tm = 66.8458712227 AU, UA
- 100 Tm = 668.458712227 AU, UA
How to Convert Terameter to Astronomical Unit
1 Tm = 6.68458712226845 AU, UA
Example: convert 15 Tm to AU, UA:
15 Tm = 15 × 6.68458712226845 AU, UA = 100.268806834027 AU, UA

Terameter
A terameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "tera-" for 10^12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The terameter is used for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distances of outer planets from the Sun.
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.
