How to convert astronomical units to picometers
1 astronomical unit is equal to 1.495978707 × 10²³ picometers, and 1 picometer is equal to 6.684587122 × 10⁻²⁴ astronomical units. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
picometers = astronomical units × 1.495978707 × 10²³
picometers = astronomical units ÷ 6.684587122 × 10⁻²⁴Example: convert 1 au to pm: 1 × 1.495978707 × 10²³ = 1.495978707 × 10²³ pm.
