Convert link to astronomical unit
Enter a value below to convert link [li] to astronomical unit [AU, UA]. Reverse conversion: Convert astronomical unit to link.
1 li = 1.3447e-12 AU, UA. To convert link to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 1.3447e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 743646458184 li). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Link: Definition and Use
A link, specifically Gunter's link, is a unit of length equal to 7.92 inches, or 1/100 of a chain.
History/Origin
The link is part of Gunter's chain, a surveying tool invented by Edmund Gunter in the 17th century.
Current Use
The link is an obsolete unit of measurement, but may be found in old land surveys.
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.
