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.

Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.
