A famn is a traditional maritime unit of length equivalent to one fathom or 6 feet (1.8288 meters), used mainly to express depths and nautical distances.

What does the Sun's radius represent?

The Sun's radius is the average radius of the Sun, an astronomical length unit used for comparing sizes of stars and stellar structures.

Why convert famn to the Sun's radius?

This conversion allows for comparison between maritime measurements and astronomical scales, useful in fields like astrophysics and maritime history.
