1 rd = 3.3618e-11 AU
Full precision:3.3618e-11 AU
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 rods to astronomical units, we divide by 2.9746e+10 because one astronomical unit equals exactly 2.9746e+10 rods.

1 astronomical unit = 2.9746e+10 rods

Since there are 2.9746e+10 rods in every astronomical unit, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 2.9746e+10 = 3.3618e-11 astronomical units

So 1 rods = 3.3618e-11 astronomical units.

Quick check: 3.3618e-11 × 2.9746e+10 = 1 rods

How to Convert Rods to Astronomical Units

To convert rods to astronomical units, divide the value by 2.9746e+10.

The Formula

Astronomical Units = Rods ÷ 2.9746e+10

Key Fact

1 astronomical unit = 2.9746e+10 rods

Tip: To convert astronomical units back to rods, multiply by 2.9746e+10.

Example Conversions

Example 1: 1 rd = 3.3618e-11 AU
1 ÷ 2.9746e+10 = 3.3618e-11
Example 2: 5 rd = 1.6809e-10 AU
5 ÷ 2.9746e+10 = 1.6809e-10
Example 3: 10 rd = 3.3618e-10 AU
10 ÷ 2.9746e+10 = 3.3618e-10
