Convert Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's distance from sun
Enter a value below to convert Earth's equatorial radius [R_e] to Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist]. Reverse conversion: Convert Earth's distance from sun to Earth's equatorial radius.
1 R_e = 4.26352124543e-05 AU_dist. To convert Earth's equatorial radius to Earth's distance from sun, multiply the value by 4.26352124543e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AU_dist = 23454.791062 R_e). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Earth's Equatorial Radius: Definition and Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the equator, approximately 6,378.1 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size and shape of the Earth have been a subject of study since ancient times. Modern measurements are made using satellite geodesy.
Current Use
The Earth's equatorial radius is a fundamental parameter in geodesy, geophysics, and astronomy. It is used in cartography and for defining the shape of the Earth.
Earth's Distance From Sun: Definition and Use
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
