Convert Earth's distance from sun to Electron radius (classical)
Please provide values below to convert Earth's distance from sun [AU_dist] to Electron radius (classical) [r_e], or Convert Electron radius (classical) to Earth's distance from sun.
How to Convert Earth's Distance From Sun to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 AU_dist = 5.30876645289835e+25 r_e
Example: convert 15 AU_dist to r_e:
15 AU_dist = 15 × 5.30876645289835e+25 r_e = 7.96314967934753e+26 r_e

Earth's Distance From Sun
The Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year. The average distance is defined as one astronomical unit (AU), which is about 149.6 million kilometers.
History/Origin
The measurement of the Earth-Sun distance has a long history, with early estimates made by ancient Greek astronomers. Modern measurements are highly precise.
Current Use
The Earth-Sun distance is a fundamental unit in astronomy and is used to measure distances within the solar system.
Electron Radius (Classical)
The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.
Current Use
The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.
