What is the Formula to convert Earth's equatorial radius to Astronomical Units?

The formula to convert given length from Earth's equatorial radius to Astronomical Units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 23454.706482019876

Substitute the given value of length in earth's equatorial radius, i.e., Length(Earth's equatorial radius) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in astronomical units, i.e., Length(Astronomical Units).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a geostationary satellite orbits at a distance equal to 6.6 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this distance from Earth's equatorial radius to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6

Formula:

The formula to convert length from earth's equatorial radius to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 23454.706482019876

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 6.6 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 6.6 / 23454.706482019876

Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.0002813934169272

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6.6 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 0.0002813934169272 AU.

The length is 0.0002813934169272 AU, in astronomical units.

2

Consider that a mountain's height is measured as 0.000156 times Earth's equatorial radius.
Convert this height from Earth's equatorial radius to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in earth's equatorial radius is:

Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156

Formula:

The formula to convert length from earth's equatorial radius to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Earth's equatorial radius) / 23454.706482019876

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Earth's equatorial radius) = 0.000156 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.000156 / 23454.706482019876

Length(Astronomical Units) = 6.6511171e-9

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.000156 earth's equatorial radius is equal to 6.6511171e-9 AU.

The length is 6.6511171e-9 AU, in astronomical units.

Earth's equatorial radius

The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the Earth's center to the equator. One Earth's equatorial radius is approximately 6,378.1 kilometers or about 3,963.2 miles.

The equatorial radius is the longest radius of the Earth due to its equatorial bulge, caused by the planet's rotation. This bulge results in a slightly larger radius at the equator compared to the polar radius.

The Earth's equatorial radius is used in geodesy, cartography, and satellite navigation to define the Earth's shape and for accurate measurements of distances and areas on the Earth's surface. It provides a key parameter for understanding Earth's dimensions and its gravitational field.

Astronomical Units

An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.

The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
