Converting from Astronomical Unit (AU) to Light Hour (lh) in Astronomy Distance

What is Astronomical Unit (AU)

Astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of length commonly used in astronomy to measure distances within the solar system. One AU is defined as the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, approximately 149.6 million kilometers.

What is Light Hour (lh)

Light Hour (lh) is another unit of distance used in astronomy, representing the distance that light travels in one hour through a vacuum. It is equivalent to 1 light hour is the distance that light travels in one hour, which is about 1.079252849 billion kilometers.

Conversion Formulas

The conversions between Astronomical Unit (AU) and Light Hour (lh) can be calculated using the following formulas:

AU=lh×7.21436

lh=AU×0.1386124

Examples

1. 15 AU = 2.079187 lh
2. 15 lh = 108.2154 AU
3. 9 AU = 1.247512 lh
4. 9 lh = 64.92924 AU
5. 3 AU = 0.4158373 lh
6. 3 lh = 21.64308 AU

In summary, the conversion between Astronomical Unit (AU) and Light Hour (lh) provides a way to express astronomical distances in different units, allowing astronomers to work with distances on a variety of scales easily.
