Convert Sun's radius to Earth's polar radius
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to Earth's polar radius [R_p], or Convert Earth's polar radius to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Earth's Polar Radius
1 R_s = 109.442678771674 R_p
Example: convert 15 R_s to R_p:
15 R_s = 15 × 109.442678771674 R_p = 1641.64018157511 R_p
Sun's Radius to Earth's Polar Radius Conversion Table
| Sun's radius | Earth's polar radius |
|---|
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.
Earth's Polar Radius
The Earth's polar radius is the distance from the center of the Earth to the North or South Pole, approximately 6,356.8 kilometers.
History/Origin
The fact that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, has been known since the 18th century. Modern measurements are made with high precision.
Current Use
The Earth's polar radius is a key parameter in geodesy and is used to define the Earth's shape and gravitational field.
