Convert Earth's distance from sun to petameter
Enter a value below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to petameter [Pm]. Reverse conversion: Convert petameter to Earth's distance from sun.
1 AU_dist = 0.0001495978707 Pm. To convert Earth's distance from sun to petameter, multiply the value by 0.0001495978707; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pm = 6684.58712227 AU_dist). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Petameter: Definition and Use
A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
