Convert Sun's radius to angstrom
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to angstrom [A], or Convert angstrom to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Angstrom
1 R_s = 6.957e+18 A
Example: convert 15 R_s to A:
15 R_s = 15 × 6.957e+18 A = 1.04355e+20 A

Sun's Radius
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.
Angstrom
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
