Convert Sun's radius to a.u. of length
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to a.u. of length [a.u., b], or Convert a.u. of length to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 1.3147e+19 a.u., b. To convert Sun's radius to a.u. of length, multiply the value by 1.3147e+19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u., b = 7.6064e-20 R_s). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
A.u. Of Length
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
