Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to chain (US survey) [ch (US)], or Convert chain (US survey) to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Chain (Us Survey)
1 R_s = 34582965.9090573 ch (US)
Example: convert 15 R_s to ch (US):
15 R_s = 15 × 34582965.9090573 ch (US) = 518744488.63586 ch (US)

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.
Chain (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey chain is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey chain was used for land surveying in the United States.
