Convert Sun's radius to petameter

Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to petameter [Pm], or Convert petameter to Sun's radius.




How to Convert Sun's Radius to Petameter

1 R_s = 6.957e-07 Pm

Example: convert 15 R_s to Pm:
15 R_s = 15 Γ— 6.957e-07 Pm = 1.04355e-05 Pm

Sun's Radius

The Sun's radius is the distance from the center of the Sun to its surface, approximately 695,700 kilometers.

History/Origin

The size of the Sun has been measured with increasing accuracy over centuries of astronomical observation.

Current Use

The Sun's radius is a fundamental property of the Sun and is used in astrophysics to model its structure and evolution.


Petameter

A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.

History/Origin

The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.

Current Use

The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
