How to convert atomic units of length to kiloparsecs
1 a.u. of length is equal to 1.714946546 × 10⁻³⁰ kiloparsecs, and 1 kiloparsec is equal to 5.831085538 × 10²⁹ atomic units of length. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
kiloparsecs = atomic units of length × 1.714946546 × 10⁻³⁰
kiloparsecs = atomic units of length ÷ 5.831085538 × 10²⁹Example: convert 1 a₀ to kpc: 1 × 1.714946546 × 10⁻³⁰ = 1.714946546 × 10⁻³⁰ kpc.
