Convert point to astronomical unit
Enter a value below to convert point [point] to astronomical unit [AU, UA]. Reverse conversion: Convert astronomical unit to point.
1 point = 2.3582e-15 AU, UA. To convert point to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 2.3582e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 4.2406e+14 point). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Point: Definition and Use
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
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.
