Convert Sun's radius to a.u. of length
Enter a value below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to a.u. of length [a.u., b]. Reverse conversion: Convert a.u. of length to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 1.3147e+19 a.u., b. To convert Sun's radius to a.u. of length, multiply the value by 1.3147e+19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a.u., b = 7.6064e-20 R_s). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
A.u. Of Length: Definition and Use
The atomic unit of length, also known as the Bohr radius (a₀), is approximately 5.29 x 10⁻¹¹ meters.
History/Origin
The Bohr radius is named after Niels Bohr, who proposed a model of the atom in 1913 where the electron orbits the nucleus at specific distances. The Bohr radius is the most probable distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
Current Use
The atomic unit of length is used in atomic physics to simplify calculations and equations.
