Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Lunar Distances to Astronomical Units calculated?

The factor is derived by reducing both units to meters and applying the fixed astronomy reference constants for AU, light-seconds, or lunar-distance scales.

How do I reverse Lunar Distances to Astronomical Units?

Use the mirror Astronomical Units to Lunar Distances route; it applies the inverse relationship for the opposite direction with the same assumptions.
