Examples

1

Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in pica is:

Length(Pica) = 12

Formula:

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

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Pica) / 35338079694191.17

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 12 / 35338079694191.17

Length(Astronomical Units) = 3.396e-13

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 3.396e-13 AU.

The length is 3.396e-13 AU, in astronomical units.

2

Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in pica is:

Length(Pica) = 6

Formula:

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

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Pica) / 35338079694191.17

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 6 / 35338079694191.17

Length(Astronomical Units) = 1.698e-13

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 1.698e-13 AU.

The length is 1.698e-13 AU, in astronomical units.

Pica

A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.

The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.

Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.

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.
