Link


A link is a traditional unit of length used primarily in land surveying. It is defined as exactly 7.92 inches or approximately 20.1168 centimeters.


The link originated from Gunter's chain, a 66-foot measuring device introduced in 1620 by English mathematician Edmund Gunter. This chain was divided into 100 equal parts, each measuring one link. The link became a standard unit in English-speaking countries for surveying and land measurement.


Key Facts:



  • 1 link = 7.92 inches



  • 1 link ≈ 20.1168 cm



  • 25 links = 1 rod (16.5 feet)



  • 100 links = 1 chain (66 feet)



  • 1,000 links = 1 furlong (660 feet)



While the link has largely fallen out of general use, it remains a part of historical surveying practices and is still referenced in some legal and cadastral documents.


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.
