Convert Sun's radius to Earth's distance from sun
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist], or Convert Earth's distance from sun to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Earth's Distance From Sun
1 R_s = 0.00465046726096216 AU_dist
Example: convert 15 R_s to AU_dist:
15 R_s = 15 × 0.00465046726096216 AU_dist = 0.0697570089144324 AU_dist

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 Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
