Convert Sun's radius to Electron radius (classical)
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to Electron radius (classical) [r_e], or Convert Electron radius (classical) to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 R_s = 2.4688244585298e+23 r_e
Example: convert 15 R_s to r_e:
15 R_s = 15 × 2.4688244585298e+23 r_e = 3.7032366877947e+24 r_e
Sun's Radius to Electron Radius (Classical) Conversion Table
| Sun's radius | Electron radius (classical) |
|---|
Sun's Radius
The Sun's radius is the distance from the center of the Sun to its surface, approximately 695,700 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size of the Sun has been measured with increasing accuracy over centuries of astronomical observation.
Current Use
The Sun's radius is a fundamental property of the Sun and is used in astrophysics to model its structure and evolution.
Electron Radius (Classical)
The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.
Current Use
The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.
