Convert kiloparsec to Bohr radius
Enter a value below to convert kiloparsec [kpc] to Bohr radius [a.u.]. Reverse conversion: Convert Bohr radius to kiloparsec.
1 kpc = 5.8311e+29 a.u.. To convert kiloparsec to Bohr radius, multiply the value by 5.8311e+29; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u. = 1.7149e-30 kpc). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kiloparsec: Definition and Use
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
Bohr Radius: Definition and Use
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
