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