How to convert atomic units of length to points
1 a.u. of length is equal to 1.500029889 × 10⁻⁷ points, and 1 point is equal to 6,666,533.829 atomic units of length. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
points = atomic units of length × 1.500029889 × 10⁻⁷
points = atomic units of length ÷ 6,666,533.829Example: convert 1 a₀ to pt: 1 × 1.500029889 × 10⁻⁷ = 1.500029889 × 10⁻⁷ pt.

About the a.u. of length
The atomic unit of length is the Bohr radius, about 5.29 × 10⁻¹¹ m: the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom.
