Aln


An aln is an old Scandinavian unit of length traditionally used in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, mainly for measuring cloth and textiles. It is roughly equivalent to 59.4 centimeters (about 23.4 inches), though the exact length varied by region and time period.


The aln was based on the length of the forearm, similar to the cubit in other cultures, and was commonly used by tailors and merchants.


Though obsolete today, the aln reflects historical measurement practices tied to the human body and remains of interest in historical and cultural studies of Scandinavia.


Summary:



  • 1 aln ≈ 59.4 cm (23.4 inches)



  • Used primarily for measuring textiles



  • Traditional Scandinavian unit based on the forearm length



  • Now mostly of historical interest


Sun’s Radius


The radius of the Sun is the distance from its center to its surface (photosphere).



  • It is approximately 696,340 kilometers (about 432,685 miles).



  • The Sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, and this radius defines its visible "surface."



  • The Sun’s radius is about 109 times the radius of Earth.



Key facts:



  • Sun’s radius ≈ 696,340 km



  • Defines the size of the Sun’s visible surface



  • Critical for understanding solar structure and scale



Knowing the Sun’s radius helps astronomers model solar phenomena and compare the Sun with other stars.
