What is a link (US survey)?

It is a historical land surveying unit equal to 0.66 US survey feet used mainly in cadastral mapping.

Why convert link (US survey) to Sun's radius?

To relate small terrestrial measurements to astronomical scales for scientific or educational comparison.

Is this conversion practical for everyday surveying?

No, due to the huge difference in scale, it is mostly for theoretical or illustrative purposes.
