Convert Sun's radius to Earth's equatorial radius
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to Earth's equatorial radius [R_e], or Convert Earth's equatorial radius to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Earth's Equatorial Radius
1 R_s = 109.075737946676 R_e
Example: convert 15 R_s to R_e:
15 R_s = 15 × 109.075737946676 R_e = 1636.13606920014 R_e
Sun's Radius to Earth's Equatorial Radius Conversion Table
| Sun's radius | Earth's equatorial radius |

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.
Earth's Equatorial Radius
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
