Convert Sun's radius to X-unit
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to X-unit [X], or Convert X-unit to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to X-Unit
1 R_s = 6.94255947628932e+21 X
Example: convert 15 R_s to X:
15 R_s = 15 × 6.94255947628932e+21 X = 1.0413839214434e+23 X

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.
X-Unit
An X-unit is a unit of length approximately equal to 1.002 x 10⁻¹³ meters.
History/Origin
The X-unit was proposed by the Swedish physicist Manne Siegbahn in 1919 for measuring the wavelengths of X-rays and gamma rays.
Current Use
The X-unit has been largely replaced by the angstrom and the picometer.
