How to convert astronomical units to angstroms
1 astronomical unit is equal to 1.495978707 × 10²¹ angstroms, and 1 angstrom is equal to 6.684587122 × 10⁻²² astronomical units. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
angstroms = astronomical units × 1.495978707 × 10²¹
angstroms = astronomical units ÷ 6.684587122 × 10⁻²²Example: convert 1 au to Å: 1 × 1.495978707 × 10²¹ = 1.495978707 × 10²¹ Å.
