Convert Sun's radius to kiloparsec
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to kiloparsec [kpc], or Convert kiloparsec to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Kiloparsec
1 R_s = 2.25461015182088e-11 kpc
Example: convert 15 R_s to kpc:
15 R_s = 15 × 2.25461015182088e-11 kpc = 3.38191522773133e-10 kpc

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.
Kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to one thousand parsecs.
History/Origin
The parsec was first proposed as a unit of distance in 1913 by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The kiloparsec is a multiple of the parsec used for larger astronomical distances.
Current Use
The kiloparsec is used to measure distances to objects within and around the Milky Way galaxy.
