Convert chain to Earth's distance from sun
Enter a value below to convert chain [ch] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's distance from sun to chain.
1 ch = 1.3447e-10 AU_dist. To convert chain to Earth's distance from sun, multiply the value by 1.3447e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU_dist = 7436464581.84 ch). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Chain: Definition and Use
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
Earth's Distance From Sun: Definition and Use
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
