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.

Lightyears

A light-year is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure vast distances. One light-year is equivalent to approximately 9.461 trillion kilometers or about 5.879 trillion miles.

A light-year is defined by the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, which is about 9.461 × 10^12 kilometers.

Light-years are used to measure distances between stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. They provide a convenient way to express astronomical distances, making it easier to understand the scale of the universe.
