An ell is a historical unit of length originally related to the length of the arm or used in cloth measurement, with regional length variations.

What does AU stand for?

AU stands for astronomical unit, defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 metres, used to express distances within the Solar System.

Why convert from ell to astronomical units?

This conversion helps translate historical measurements into space science units, useful in archival research linking textiles and astronomical data.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms lengths measured in ells, a traditional textile unit, into astronomical units used in space science. It aids in bridging historical and astronomical measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the length value in ells you want to convert.
Select ell as the input unit and astronomical unit [AU, UA] as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent length in astronomical units.

Key Features

Converts ell, a historical cloth-measuring length, to astronomical units (AU, UA).
Supports analysis of historical textile measurements in modern astronomical contexts.
Browser-based, easy to use conversion interface.

Examples

10 ell equals 7.6404830812125e-11 astronomical units (AU).
100 ell equals 7.6404830812125e-10 astronomical units (AU).

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historical textile measurements in modern scientific contexts.
Converting tailoring dimensions from old trade records for museum or conservation work.
Linking pre-metric length units with astronomical distance data for research or education.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which regional definition of ell applies to your data for better accuracy.
Use the conversion primarily for academic or archival purposes.
Consider the extremely small conversion result when applying to astronomical calculations.

Limitations

Very small scale of an ell makes values negligible in most astronomy calculations.
Regional differences in ell length can affect conversion accuracy.
Conversion mainly suits academic or historical research, not everyday measurements.
