Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to rod (US survey) [rd (US)], or Convert rod (US survey) to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Rod (Us Survey)
1 R_s = 138331863.636917 rd (US)
Example: convert 15 R_s to rd (US):
15 R_s = 15 × 138331863.636917 rd (US) = 2074977954.55375 rd (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.
Rod (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey rod is a unit of length equal to 16.5 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey rod 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 rod was used for land surveying in the United States.
