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.
