Convert Sun's radius to Earth's polar radius
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to Earth's polar radius [R_p], or Convert Earth's polar radius to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 109.442678772 R_p. To convert Sun's radius to Earth's polar radius, multiply the value by 109.442678772; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_p = 0.00913720324853 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.
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.
