Convert Sun's radius to megameter
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 695.7 Mm. To convert Sun's radius to megameter, multiply the value by 695.7; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 0.00143740117867 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 = 695.7 Mm
- 1 Mm = 0.00143740117867 R_s
- 10 R_s = 6957 Mm
- 100 R_s = 69570 Mm
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Megameter
1 R_s = 695.7 Mm
Example: convert 15 R_s to Mm:
15 R_s = 15 × 695.7 Mm = 10435.5 Mm

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.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
