What does converting kilometers to the Sun's radius represent?

It converts earth-scale distances into an astronomical scale used to compare sizes of stars and stellar structures.

Is this conversion useful for everyday distance measurements?

No, it is mainly intended for astronomical comparisons and astrophysical calculations rather than common distance uses.

What is the conversion factor for kilometers to the Sun's radius?

1 kilometer equals approximately 0.0000014367816091954 Sun's radius.
