Calculation Info

The Gigaparsec to Bohr Radius (Gpc to A?) Converter is a specialized tool designed to help you convert distances measured in gigaparsecs (Gpc) into atomic scale units known as Bohr radii (A?). This is useful in fields like astrophysics and atomic physics where understanding the scale differences between cosmic and atomic measurements is important.

A gigaparsec (Gpc) is a large unit of distance used in astronomy to measure vast cosmic scales. One gigaparsec equals one billion parsecs, and one parsec (pc) is approximately 3.086 x 1016 meters. Therefore, 1 Gpc ? 3.086 x 1025 meters.

The Bohr radius (A?) is a fundamental physical constant representing the most probable distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Its value is approximately 0.529177 x 10-10 meters.

To convert from gigaparsecs to Bohr radii, the tool uses the following formula:

Distance in A? = (Distance in Gpc × 3.086 x 1025 meters per Gpc) / (0.529177 x 10-10 meters per A?)

This formula multiplies the input distance in gigaparsecs by the number of meters per gigaparsec, then divides by the number of meters per Bohr radius to give the equivalent distance in atomic units. This allows users to understand cosmic distances on an atomic scale easily.
