What is the formula for calculating astronomical units?

Answer 1

To convert a distance to its equivalent in Astronomical Units . . .

-- if the distance is in miles, divide by 92,955,000

-- if it's in kilometers, divide by 148,597,000

-- if it's in light years, multiply by 63,241

-- if it's in parsecs, multiply by 206,265

Answer 2

you cannot convert hours to miles, they are differnt units.

If you know speed, you can compute miles from hours.

DISTANCE = SPEED x TIME

say yiu are going 60 mph for one hour

DISTANCE = 60 x 1 = 60 miles

Answer 3

Go to Google and type, for example, "1,000,000,000 kilometers in astronomical units". Note that this does not do a Web search; Google, in this case, functions as a calculator. The commas are optional, but they help make the input more readable. Or shorter: "1e9 km in au". 1e9 means that the 1 is to be followed by 9 zeroes (1 x 109).

If you want to know how to do the calculations yourself: 1 astronomical unit is approximately 150 million kilometers (150,000,000 km). Therefore, to convert from AU to kilometers, you multiply by 150 million; to convert from kilometers to AU, you divide by 150 million.

Answer 4

One astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, about 149.6 million kilometers (92.96 million miles). The formula to convert AU to kilometers is: 1 AU = 149,597,870.7 km.

Answer 5

AU x 92,955,807.3 = miles
