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

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.
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.
