Convert rod to Earth's distance from sun
Enter a value below to convert rod [rd] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's distance from sun to rod.
1 rd = 3.3618e-11 AU_dist. To convert rod to Earth's distance from sun, multiply the value by 3.3618e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU_dist = 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.
Earth's Distance From Sun: Definition and Use
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
