About this conversion

The astronomical unit (au) is a unit of length in the astronomical, commonly used for distances between planets and orbital radius of planets. The meter (m) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to room and building dimensions and swimming pool lengths. By definition, one astronomical unit is approximately 149,597,870.7 km — the mean distance from Earth to the Sun. One meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units, defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The conversion factor between these two units is 149597870700: multiplying any value in au by this number gives the equivalent in m. For example, 10 au equals 1495978707000.0000 m. Going the other direction, 1 m equals 0 au. The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
