Cubit (Greek)

The Greek cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the forearm’s length—from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. In ancient Greece, it typically measured about 18 to 20 inches (approximately 45 to 50 centimeters), though the exact length could vary by region and period.

The Greek cubit was widely used in architecture, construction, and land measurement. It played a crucial role in building temples, monuments, and other structures in classical Greece.

Key points:

• 
  

  Greek cubit ≈ 18 to 20 inches (45–50 cm)

  
  
• 
  

  Based on the length of the forearm

  
  
• 
  

  Used in ancient Greek construction and land surveying

  
  
• 
  

  Important for classical architecture and engineering

  
  

This unit reflects how ancient civilizations used the human body as a natural measuring tool before standardized systems.

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.
