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.
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.
