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.
Decimeter
A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-tenth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "deci-" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning tenth. The decimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The decimeter is not as commonly used in everyday life as other metric units like the centimeter or meter, but it is sometimes used in technical and scientific contexts.
