Twip

A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch ≈ 0.01764 millimeters

  
  
• 
  

  Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics

  
  
• 
  

  Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs

  
  

Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.

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.
