Convert Bohr radius to Earth's equatorial radius
Enter a value below to convert Bohr radius [a.u.] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's equatorial radius to Bohr radius.
1 a.u. = 8.2967e-18 R_e. To convert Bohr radius to Earth's equatorial radius, multiply the value by 8.2967e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_e = 1.2053e+17 a.u.). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Bohr Radius: Definition and Use
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, 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. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Earth's Equatorial Radius: Definition and Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
