Convert Sun's radius to picometer
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to picometer [pM], or Convert picometer to Sun's radius.
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Picometer
1 R_s = 6.957e+20 pM
Example: convert 15 R_s to pM:
15 R_s = 15 × 6.957e+20 pM = 1.04355e+22 pM

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.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
