What is a Mile (US survey)?

It is a unit of length equal to exactly 5,280 US survey feet, used historically in surveying and mapping in the United States.

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

To relate Earth-based distances to astronomical scales, aiding in scientific analysis and educational comparisons.

Is this conversion precise for scientific calculations?

Due to the large difference in scale and the averaged Sun's radius, the conversion is primarily symbolic rather than exact.
