Convert Electron radius (classical) to Sun's radius
Please provide values below to convert Electron radius (classical) [r_e] to Sun's radius [R_s], or Convert Sun's radius to Electron radius (classical).
How to Convert Electron Radius (Classical) to Sun's Radius
1 r_e = 4.05051074629869e-24 R_s
Example: convert 15 r_e to R_s:
15 r_e = 15 × 4.05051074629869e-24 R_s = 6.07576611944804e-23 R_s

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.
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.
