Convert ken to astronomical unit
Enter a value below to convert ken [ken] to astronomical unit [AU, UA]. Reverse conversion: Convert astronomical unit to ken.
1 ken = 1.4160e-11 AU, UA. To convert ken to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 1.4160e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 70619663654.9 ken). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Ken: Definition and Use
The ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length, equal to six Japanese feet (shaku). Its length has varied over time, but it is now standardized at 1.818 meters.
History/Origin
The ken was traditionally used in Japanese architecture and land measurement.
Current Use
The ken is still used in traditional Japanese carpentry and architecture.
Astronomical Unit: Definition and Use
The astronomical unit is a unit of length, now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters. It is approximately the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
History/Origin
Historically, the astronomical unit was the mean Earth-Sun distance. In 2012, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined it as a fixed constant.
Current Use
The astronomical unit is used primarily for measuring distances within the Solar System or around other stars.
