Convert astronomical unit to picometer
Enter a value below to convert astronomical unit [AU, UA] to picometer [pM]. Reverse conversion: Convert picometer to astronomical unit.
1 AU, UA = 1.4960e+23 pM. To convert astronomical unit to picometer, multiply the value by 1.4960e+23; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 6.6846e-24 AU, UA). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Astronomical Unit: Definition and Use
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.
Picometer: Definition and Use
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
