How to Convert Bohr Radius to Kiloparsec
1 a.u. = 1.71494654565785e-30 kpc
Example: convert 15 a.u. to kpc:
15 a.u. = 15 × 1.71494654565785e-30 kpc = 2.57241981848677e-29 kpc

Bohr Radius
The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913. It is the atomic unit of length.
Current Use
The Bohr radius is a fundamental constant in atomic physics and is used to simplify calculations and equations.
Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
