Step-by-Step Solution

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

1 astronomical unit = 1.496e+20 nanometers

Since there are 1.496e+20 nanometers in every astronomical unit, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1.496e+20 = 6.6845e-21 astronomical units

So 1 nanometers = 6.6845e-21 astronomical units.

Quick check: 6.6845e-21 × 1.496e+20 = 1 nanometers

How to Convert Nanometers to Astronomical Units

To convert nanometers to astronomical units, divide the value by 1.496e+20.

The Formula

Astronomical Units = Nanometers ÷ 1.496e+20

Key Fact

1 astronomical unit = 1.496e+20 nanometers

Tip: To convert astronomical units back to nanometers, multiply by 1.496e+20.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 nm = 6.6845e-21 AU
1 ÷ 1.496e+20 = 6.6845e-21
Example 2: 5 nm = 3.3422e-20 AU
5 ÷ 1.496e+20 = 3.3422e-20
Example 3: 10 nm = 6.6845e-20 AU
10 ÷ 1.496e+20 = 6.6845e-20
