Convert gigameter to Sun's radius
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to Sun's radius [R_s], or Convert Sun's radius to gigameter.
1 Gm = 1.43740117867 R_s. To convert gigameter to Sun's radius, multiply the value by 1.43740117867; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_s = 0.6957 Gm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Gm = 1.43740117867 R_s
- 1 R_s = 0.6957 Gm
- 10 Gm = 14.3740117867 R_s
- 100 Gm = 143.740117867 R_s

Gigameter
A gigameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^9 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "giga-" for 10^9 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The gigameter is used for measuring interplanetary distances, for example, the distance between Earth and Mars.
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.
