Convert Earth's polar radius to Sun's radius
Please provide values below to convert Earth's polar radius [R_p] to Sun's radius [R_s], or Convert Sun's radius to Earth's polar radius.
1 R_p = 0.00913720324853 R_s. To convert Earth's polar radius to Sun's radius, multiply the value by 0.00913720324853; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_s = 109.442678772 R_p). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Earth's Polar Radius
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole, approximately 6,356.8 kilometers.
History/Origin
The fact that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, has been known since the 18th century. Modern measurements are made with high precision.
Current Use
The Earth's polar radius is a key parameter in geodesy and is used to define the Earth's shape and gravitational field.
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.
