Convert Sun's radius to petameter
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to petameter [Pm], or Convert petameter to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 6.957e-07 Pm. To convert Sun's radius to petameter, multiply the value by 6.957e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pm = 1437401.17867 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 = 6.957e-07 Pm
- 1 Pm = 1437401.17867 R_s
- 10 R_s = 6.957e-06 Pm
- 100 R_s = 6.957e-05 Pm
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Petameter
1 R_s = 6.957e-07 Pm
Example: convert 15 R_s to Pm:
15 R_s = 15 × 6.957e-07 Pm = 1.04355e-05 Pm

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.
Petameter
A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
Frequently Asked Questions
