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.

Light Year

A light year is a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure how far light travels in one year. Light moves extremely fast—about 299,792 kilometers per second—so in one year, it travels roughly 9.46 trillion kilometers (or about 5.88 trillion miles). Light years help scientists express the huge distances between stars and galaxies. For example, the nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light years away. The term “light year” can be confusing because it sounds like a measure of time, but it actually measures distance.
