Convert rod to astronomical unit
Enter a value below to convert rod [rd] to astronomical unit [AU, UA]. Reverse conversion: Convert astronomical unit to rod.
1 rd = 3.3618e-11 AU, UA. To convert rod to astronomical unit, multiply the value by 3.3618e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU, UA = 29745858327.4 rd). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Rod: Definition and Use
A rod, also known as a perch or pole, is a unit of length equal to 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards.
History/Origin
The rod has been used as a unit of measurement in England since at least the 13th century. It was a convenient length for measuring land.
Current Use
The rod is now an archaic unit of measurement, though it may still be encountered in old land deeds.
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.
