Feet to Astronomical Units

Foot

A foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. It is widely used in construction, interior design, and everyday height measurements, especially in countries where imperial units are standard. The foot provides a convenient scale for human-sized distances, making it useful for layout and planning tasks.

Because meters are more common globally, converting between feet and metric units is often necessary. An online converter makes it easy to switch measurements, ensuring precision in building projects and international communication.

Astronomical Unit

An astronomical unit (AU) is a standard space measurement based on the distance from the Earth to the Sun—about 149.6 million kilometers or 93 million miles. It helps describe solar system distances in practical numbers rather than extremely large values.

Astronomers use AU values to measure orbits of planets, asteroids, and comets relative to Earth.
