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.



Nanometer


A nanometer (nm) is an incredibly small unit of length in the metric system. It equals one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 meters). Nanometers are used to measure things at the atomic and molecular scale, like the size of viruses, DNA strands, or the width of a few atoms. The symbol for nanometer is "nm". This unit is essential in fields like nanotechnology, physics, and chemistry, where scientists work with materials and particles too tiny to see with regular microscopes. Understanding measurements in nanometers helps researchers develop new materials, medicines, and electronic devices.
