How to use this Sun's radius to Astronomical Units Converter π€
Follow these steps to convert given length from the units of Sun's radius to the units of Astronomical Units.
Enter the input Sun's radius value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Sun's radius into Astronomical Units in realtime β using the conversion formula, and displays under the Astronomical Units label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Astronomical Units value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Astronomical Units value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Sun's radius to Astronomical Units?
The formula to convert given length from Sun's radius to Astronomical Units is:
Substitute the given value of length in sun's radius, i.e., Length(Sun's radius) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in astronomical units, i.e., Length(Astronomical Units).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a sunspot is observed at a distance of 0.2 times the Sun's radius from the solar center. Convert this distance from the Sun's radius to Astronomical Units.
Answer:
Given:
The length in sun's radius is:
Length(Sun's radius) = 0.2
Formula:
The formula to convert length from sun's radius to astronomical units is:
Therefore, 2.5 sun's radius is equal to 0.0116311815938618 AU.
The length is 0.0116311815938618 AU, in astronomical units.

Sun's radius
The radius of the Sun is approximately 696,340 kilometers or about 432,690 miles.
This radius represents the distance from the Sun's center to its surface, which is composed of the photosphere, the layer of the Sun that emits light. The Sun is not a perfect sphere but is slightly oblate due to its rotation.
The Sun's radius is fundamental for understanding its size, volume, and the scale of solar phenomena. It is used in astrophysics and solar studies to model the Sun's structure, energy output, and its influence on the solar system.
Astronomical Units
An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.
The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
