Convert twip to Earth's distance from sun
Enter a value below to convert twip [twip] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's distance from sun to twip.
1 twip = 1.1791e-16 AU_dist. To convert twip to Earth's distance from sun, multiply the value by 1.1791e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU_dist = 8.4811e+15 twip). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Twip: Definition and Use
A twip (twentieth of a point) is a unit of typographical measurement equal to 1/1440 of an inch.
History/Origin
The twip was invented by Microsoft as a device-independent unit for layout calculations in its software.
Current Use
The twip is used internally by some software programs for screen and print layout.
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.
