How the conversion works

The relationship is AU = yd × 6.112386465 × 10^-12. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes. The figure is exact rather than approximate: since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, an inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimetres and a pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, and every other imperial and US customary unit here is derived from those two.

Common questions

How many astronomical units are in one yard?
One yard equals 6.112 × 10^-12 astronomical units. AU = yd × 6.112386465 × 10^-12.
How do you convert yards to astronomical units?
Use AU = yd × 6.112386465 × 10^-12. So 10 yd is 6.112 × 10^-11 AU.
How many yards are in one astronomical unit?
One astronomical unit equals 163,602,220,000 yards, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
