Convert astronomical unit to meter
Astronomical Unit
The astronomical unit (symbol: AU) is a unit of length approximately equal to the mean distance between Earth and the Sun, defined exactly as 149,597,870,700 metres. It is the primary unit used in expressing distances within the Solar System, such as the orbital radii of planets. The astronomical unit was formally defined in its current exact value by the International Astronomical Union in 2012.
Meter
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or meter (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
