Kilometers to Astronomical Units Converter | km to AU
  1. Enter the input Kilometers value in the text field.
  2. The calculator converts the given Kilometers into Astronomical Units in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Astronomical Units label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Astronomical Units value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Astronomical Units value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Kilometers to Astronomical Units?

The formula to convert given length from Kilometers to Astronomical Units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Kilometers) / 149597870.7060077

Substitute the given value of length in kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers) 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 high-end electric car has a maximum range of 400 kilometers on a single charge.
Convert this range from kilometers to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 400

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Kilometers) / 149597870.7060077

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Kilometers) = 400 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 400 / 149597870.7060077

Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.0000026738348488

Final Answer:

Therefore, 400 km is equal to 0.0000026738348488 AU.

The length is 0.0000026738348488 AU, in astronomical units.

2

Consider that a private helicopter has a flight range of 150 kilometers.
Convert this range from kilometers to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Kilometers) / 149597870.7060077

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Kilometers) = 150 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 150 / 149597870.7060077

Length(Astronomical Units) = 0.0000010026880683

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 km is equal to 0.0000010026880683 AU.

The length is 0.0000010026880683 AU, in astronomical units.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.

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.
