| Chains (ch) | Astronomical Units (AU) |
|---|---|
| 1 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ AU |
| 5 ch | 6.72363 × 10⁻¹⁰ AU |
| 10 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻⁹ AU |
| 25 ch | 3.36181 × 10⁻⁹ AU |
| 50 ch | 6.72363 × 10⁻⁹ AU |
| 100 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻⁸ AU |
| 250 ch | 3.36181 × 10⁻⁸ AU |
| 500 ch | 6.72363 × 10⁻⁸ AU |
| 1,000 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻⁷ AU |
| 2,500 ch | 3.36181 × 10⁻⁷ AU |
| 5,000 ch | 6.72363 × 10⁻⁷ AU |
| 10,000 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻⁶ AU |
| 100,000 ch | 1.34473 × 10⁻⁵ AU |
| 1,000,000 ch | 0.000134473 AU |
25 ch × 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 3.36181 × 10⁻⁹ AU
Try this example →250 ch × 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 3.36181 × 10⁻⁸ AU
Try this example →Chain (ch). A chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), a surveying unit; 80 chains make one mile.
Astronomical unit (AU). An astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 149.6 million kilometers.
There are 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰ astronomical units in one chain.
Multiply the number of chains by 1.34473 × 10⁻¹⁰. For example, 10 chains equal 1.34473 × 10⁻⁹ astronomical units.
One astronomical unit equals 7,436,460,000 chains.
1.34473 × 10⁻⁷ astronomical units. Other common values: 100 chains = 1.34473 × 10⁻⁸ astronomical units and 10,000 chains = 1.34473 × 10⁻⁶ astronomical units.
