How to convert nautical miles to atomic units of length
1 nautical mile (international) is equal to 34,997,727,830,000 atomic units of length, and 1 a.u. of length is equal to 2.857328353 × 10⁻¹⁴ nautical miles. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
atomic units of length = nautical miles × 34,997,727,830,000
atomic units of length = nautical miles ÷ 2.857328353 × 10⁻¹⁴Example: convert 1 NM to a₀: 1 × 34,997,727,830,000 = 34,997,727,830,000 a₀.
