🧮 Formula

Rods to Astronomical Units
AU = rd × 3.36181 × 10⁻¹¹
Astronomical Units to Rods
rd = AU × 29,745,900,000

Where

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