Unlock the cosmos with our Picometer to Astronomical Unit Converter, a precision tool designed by Newtum to bridge the vast scales of the universe. Embark on a journey from the infinitesimal to the infinite.
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system, measuring one trillionth of a meter (1 pm = 1 x 10^-12 meters). It's a scale used to gauge atomic and subatomic particles, exemplifying dimensions significantly smaller than cells or bacteria, and often used in fields like physics and chemistry.
Definition of Astronomical UnitThe astronomical unit (AU) is a measure of distance based on the average separation between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles). It's a standard unit of measurement in astronomy, facilitating the comparison and understanding of distances within our solar system.
| Picometer (pm) | Astronomical Unit (AU) |
|---|---|
| 100 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-19 AU |
| 500 pm | 3.342295 x 10^-18 AU |
| 1,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-18 AU |
| 10,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-17 AU |
| 100,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-16 AU |
| 1,000,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-15 AU |
| 10,000,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-14 AU |
| 100,000,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-13 AU |
| 1,000,000,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-12 AU |
| 10,000,000,000 pm | 6.68459 x 10^-11 AU |
1 pm = 6.68459 x 10^-12 AU
1 AU = 1.496 x 10^+17 pm
Example 1:
Convert 500 pm to AU:
500 pm = 500 x (6.68459 x 10^-12) AU = 3.342295 x 10^-9 AU
Example 2:
Convert 2,000,000 pm to AU:
2,000,000 pm = 2,000,000 x (6.68459 x 10^-12) AU = 1.336918 x 10^-5 AU
The concept of converting picometers to astronomical units marries the minutiae of atomic measurement with the vastness of space.
