Convert Earth's distance from sun to Sun's radius
Enter a value below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to Sun's radius [R_s]. Reverse conversion: Convert Sun's radius to Earth's distance from sun.
1 AU_dist = 215.032155671 R_s. To convert Earth's distance from sun to Sun's radius, multiply the value by 215.032155671; to go the other way, divide by it (1 R_s = 0.00465046726096 AU_dist). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Sun's Radius: Definition and Use
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.
