1 AU = 1.496e+20 nm
Full precision:1.496e+20 nm
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 astronomical units to nanometers, we multiply by 1.496e+20 because one astronomical unit equals exactly 1.496e+20 nanometers.

1 astronomical unit = 1.496e+20 nanometers

Since each astronomical unit contains 1.496e+20 nanometers, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1.496e+20 = 1.496e+20 nanometers

So 1 astronomical units = 1.496e+20 nanometers.

Quick check: 1.496e+20 ÷ 1.496e+20 = 1 astronomical units

How to Convert Astronomical Units to Nanometers
