Convert a.u. of length to kiloparsec
Enter a value below to convert a.u. of length [a.u., b] to kiloparsec [kpc]. Reverse conversion: Convert kiloparsec to a.u. of length.
1 a.u., b = 1.7149e-30 kpc. To convert a.u. of length to kiloparsec, multiply the value by 1.7149e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kpc = 5.8311e+29 a.u., b). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

A.u. Of Length: Definition and Use
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.
Kiloparsec: Definition and Use
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
A.u. Of Length to Kiloparsec: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 a.u. of length in kiloparsec?
