⚡ Chains to Astronomical Units: the quick answer

1 ch = 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ AU 1 chain equals 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ astronomical units

To convert chains to astronomical units, multiply the value by 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰. To go the other way, multiply astronomical units by 7,436,460,000 to get chains.

↔ Convert astronomical units to chains instead

🧮 Formula

Chains to Astronomical Units
AU = ch × 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰
Astronomical Units to Chains
ch = AU × 7,436,460,000

Where

  • ch = the length in chains
  • AU = the length in astronomical units
Every unit here is defined by its length in meters, so the conversion factor is (meters per chain) ÷ (meters per astronomical unit).
