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.



League


A league is an old unit of distance that was commonly used in the past, especially for measuring distances on land or sea. Traditionally, one league equals about 3 miles or roughly 4.8 kilometers. The exact length of a league could vary by country and time period. It was often used by sailors and travelers to describe how far they had gone. Although the league is mostly obsolete today, it still appears in literature and historical contexts.
