Please provide values below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to X-unit [X], or Convert X-unit to Earth's distance from sun.
How to Convert Earth's Distance From Sun to X-Unit
1 AU_dist = 1.49287353005748e+24 X
Example: convert 15 AU_dist to X:
15 AU_dist = 15 × 1.49287353005748e+24 X = 2.23931029508622e+25 X

Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
X-Unit
An X-unit is a unit of length approximately equal to 1.002 x 10⁻¹³ meters.
History/Origin
The X-unit was proposed by the Swedish physicist Manne Siegbahn in 1919 for measuring the wavelengths of X-rays and gamma rays.
Current Use
The X-unit has been largely replaced by the angstrom and the picometer.
