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.

Microinch

A microinch is a very small unit of length used primarily in precision engineering and manufacturing. It equals one-millionth of an inch (0.000001 inch), which is approximately 0.0254 micrometers (µm).

Microinches are used to measure extremely fine tolerances, surface finishes, and thicknesses in high-precision machining, electronics, and materials science.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 microinch = 0.000001 inch

  
  
• 
  

  1 microinch ≈ 0.0254 micrometers (µm)

  
  
• 
  

  Used in precision engineering for very small measurements

  
  
• 
  

  Allows for accurate description of surface roughness and thickness

  
  

The microinch is essential in fields requiring ultra-fine measurements where standard units like the inch or millimeter are too large.
