Convert Earth's distance from sun to handbreadth
Enter a value below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to handbreadth [handbreadth]. Reverse conversion: Convert handbreadth to Earth's distance from sun.
1 AU_dist = 1.9632e+12 handbreadth. To convert Earth's distance from sun to handbreadth, multiply the value by 1.9632e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 handbreadth = 5.0937e-13 AU_dist). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
