Convert Sun's radius to micron
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 6.9570e+14 µ. To convert Sun's radius to micron, multiply the value by 6.9570e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 1.4374e-15 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 = 6.9570e+14 µ
- 1 µ = 1.4374e-15 R_s
- 10 R_s = 6.9570e+15 µ
- 100 R_s = 6.9570e+16 µ
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Micron
1 R_s = 695700000000000 µ
Example: convert 15 R_s to µ:
15 R_s = 15 × 695700000000000 µ = 1.04355e+16 µ

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.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
