What is an angstrom used for?

An angstrom is used to measure atomic- and molecular-scale distances, such as atomic radii, bond lengths, and crystal lattice spacings.

When should I use terameters?

Terameters are used to express extremely large distances, like those between planets or across astronomical scales.

Why are angstrom to terameter conversions usually very small?

Because an angstrom represents a scale many orders of magnitude smaller than a terameter, resulting values are extremely small.

How to Convert from Angstrom [A] to Terameter [Tm]?

Learn how to convert length measurements from angstroms (Å), used at atomic and molecular scales, to terameters (Tm), suited for astronomical distances. This guide explains the conversion steps, examples, and common use cases.

Key Terminology

Angstrom [A]: A unit of length equal to 1×10⁻¹⁰ metres, used to describe atomic and molecular scale distances.
Terameter [Tm]: An SI-derived unit of length equal to 10¹² metres, used to express very large planetary and astronomical distances.
Conversion Rate: The fixed ratio used to change measurements from one unit to another; here, 1 angstrom equals 1×10⁻²² terameters.
