Convert Sun's radius to kilometer
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to kilometer [km], or Convert kilometer to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 695700 km. To convert Sun's radius to kilometer, multiply the value by 695700; to go the other way, divide by it (1 km = 1.43740117867e-06 R_s). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 R_s = 695700 km

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.
Kilometer
A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand meters.
History/Origin
The term "kilometer" is derived from the Greek words "khilioi" (thousand) and "metron" (measure). The kilometer was first defined as part of the metric system in France in 1795.
Current Use
The kilometer is the most widely used unit of distance for road signs and travel distances in the world, with the notable exceptions of the United States and the United Kingdom.
