Convert Sun's radius to meter
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to meter [m], or Convert meter to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 695700000 m. To convert Sun's radius to meter, multiply the value by 695700000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 m = 1.43740117867e-09 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 = 695700000 m
- 1 m = 1.43740117867e-09 R_s
- 10 R_s = 6957000000 m
- 100 R_s = 69570000000 m
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Meter
1 R_s = 695700000 m
Example: convert 15 R_s to m:
15 R_s = 15 × 695700000 m = 10435500000 m

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.
Meter
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
History/Origin
The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This changed in 1889, when the international prototype meter was established as the length of a prototype meter bar, made of an alloy of platinum and iridium. In 1960, the meter was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86.
Current Use
The meter is used worldwide in many applications such as science, engineering, and trade. The United States is one of the few countries in which the meter is not widely used in everyday life and trade.
