Solar radius - Citizendia

In astronomy, the solar radius is a unit of length used to express the size of stars. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study Length is the long Dimension of any object The length of a thing is the distance between its ends its linear extent as measured from end to end A star is a massive luminous ball of plasma. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the Energy on Earth It is equal to the current radius of the Sun. The Sun (Sol is the Star at the center of the Solar System. Its value is:

$1\,R_{\odot} = 6.960\times 10^8\,\hbox{m} = 0.004652\,\hbox{AU}$ (Astronomical unit). The astronomical unit ( AU or au or au or sometimes ua) is a unit of Length based on the distance from the Earth to the

The solar radius is approximately 695,500 kilometers (432,160 miles), or about 110 times the radius of the Earth. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001
