Convert Earth's distance from sun to hand
Enter a value below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to hand [hand]. Reverse conversion: Convert hand to Earth's distance from sun.
1 AU_dist = 1.4724e+12 hand. To convert Earth's distance from sun to hand, multiply the value by 1.4724e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hand = 6.7915e-13 AU_dist). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
