Discover the ease of converting the minuscule attometer to the vast astronomical unit. Newtum's Attometer to Astronomical Unit Converter simplifies this complex calculation, sparking curiosity to explore the vastness of space and the intricacies of the subatomic world.
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters. To put that into perspective, it is one quintillionth of a meter. This incredibly small measurement is used in fields like particle physics and nanotechnology where precision is crucial, and distances are unfathomably tiny. The attometer allows scientists and engineers to describe and manipulate objects at the atomic or subatomic level, where even the nanometer is too large a unit for effective measurement.
Definition of Astronomical UnitAn Astronomical Unit, commonly abbreviated as AU, is a unit of length used primarily in astronomy to measure the vast distances between celestial bodies within our solar system. It is defined as approximately the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun, which is about 149.6 million kilometers (92.96 million miles). The AU provides a convenient way to express and relate distances in space without resorting to more cumbersome numbers provided by standard units like meters or miles.
| Attometer (am) | Astronomical Unit (AU) |
|---|---|
| 1 am | 6.68459 x 10^-30 AU |
| 10 am | 6.68459 x 10^-29 AU |
| 100 am | 6.68459 x 10^-28 AU |
| 1,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-27 AU |
| 10,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-26 AU |
| 100,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-25 AU |
| 1,000,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-24 AU |
| 10,000,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-23 AU |
| 100,000,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-22 AU |
| 1,000,000,000 am | 6.68459 x 10^-21 AU |
1 am = 6.68459 x 10^-30 AU
1 AU = 1.496 x 10^18 am
Example 1:
convert 5 am to AU:
5 am = 5 x (6.68459 x 10^-30) AU ≈ 3.3423 x 10^-29 AU
Example 2:
convert 50 am to AU:
50 am = 50 x (6.68459 x 10^-30) AU ≈ 3.342295 x 10^-28 AU
