What is a furlong (US survey)?

It is a historical unit of length used in U.S. surveying, defined as exactly 660 US survey feet, or about 201.1684 meters.

Why would I convert furlongs to the Sun's radius?

To compare terrestrial or land survey distances with astronomical scales for education or scientific analysis.

Is the Sun's radius commonly used for measuring distances on Earth?

No, the Sun's radius is an astronomical unit used mainly to express sizes of stars and stellar structures.
