Convert Hectometer to Astronomical Unit
Input the number of hectometers you want to convert to astronomical units.
How to Convert Hectometers to Astronomical Units
The hectometer and astronomical unit are both units of length. By definition, 1 astronomical unit equals exactly 1496000000 hectometers. This means to convert hectometers to astronomical units, you divide by 1496000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 hm to astronomical units:
We need to convert hectometers to astronomical units
Since 1 AU = 1496000000 hm, divide by 1496000000
5 ÷ 1496000000 = 3.3422459893e-9
5 hm = 3.3422459893e-9 AU

About These Units
Hectometer (hm)
A hectometer (hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters or 0.1 kilometers. While rarely used in everyday measurements, hectometers appear in scientific contexts and land surveying. One hectometer equals approximately 328 feet or 109 yards.
Astronomical Unit (AU)
An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from Earth to the Sun: approximately 149.6 million kilometers or 93 million miles. AUs measure distances within our solar system. Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun, Jupiter is 5.2 AU.
