This converter allows you to convert twips to astronomical units [au] or astronomical units [au] to twips. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 twip ≈ 1.179 * 10-16 astronomical units [au]1 astronomical unit [au] ≈ 8.481 * 1015 twips

Convert twips to astronomical units

There are two simple ways to convert twips to astronomical units [au]. In the first calculation method, the value in twips is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 8.481 * 1015. The second method multiplies the value in twips by the rounded conversion factor of 1.179 * 10-16.

  • Astronomical units [au] ≈ twips ÷ (8.481 * 1015)
  • Astronomical units [au] ≈ twips * 1.179 * 10-16

However, rounded conversion values are only suitable for rough conversions, as rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of twips to astronomical units [au] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Astronomical units [au] = twips ÷ 23,367 ÷ 64,021 * 2,025,612 * 87,079,481 ÷ 1021

Convert astronomical units to twips

Converting astronomical units [au] to twips is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in astronomical units [au] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 8.481 * 1015. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in astronomical units [au] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.179 * 10-16.

  • Twips ≈ astronomical units [au] * 8.481 * 1015
  • Twips ≈ astronomical units [au] ÷ (1.179 * 10-16)

However, rounded conversion values do not allow for exact calculations because rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of astronomical units [au] to twips can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Twips = astronomical units [au] * 23,367 * 64,021 ÷ 2,025,612 ÷ 87,079,481 * 1021
