What is a Sun's radius?
The Sun's radius is used for distances in space, where ordinary units run out of room. One Sun's radius equals 696000000 meters, so every conversion on this page starts from that single number.
Written as an everyday number it looks unwieldy, so astronomers work in scientific notation and in whichever unit keeps the numbers small for the job at hand. Converting Sun's radius into meters or kilometers shows just how much space there is between objects in the sky.
