Thou To Astronomical Unit (Thou To Au) Converter

The Thou To Astronomical Unit (Thou To AU) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert measurements from Thou, an old unit of length, into Astronomical Units (AU), which are used to measure distances within our solar system. This converter makes it easy for beginners to understand and perform these conversions quickly.

A Thou is an ancient unit of length that was used in some historical contexts. Although its exact measurement can vary, it is generally considered to be approximately 0.0000254 meters, which is equivalent to 1/1000th of an inch. This small unit was primarily used in old measurement systems and is rarely used today.

An Astronomical Unit (AU) is a modern measurement used in astronomy to describe distances within our solar system. One AU is approximately equal to the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, which is about 149,597,870.7 meters (or roughly 149.6 million kilometers).

To convert Thou to AU, you can use the following formula:
AU = (Thou × 0.0000254 meters) / 149,597,870.7 meters

Simply multiply the number of Thou by 0.0000254 to get the length in meters, then divide that result by 149,597,870.7 meters to find the equivalent distance in AU. This converter automates the process, allowing you to input a value in Thou and instantly see the equivalent measurement in AU.
