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