What is a Russian archin?

It is a former Russian length unit equal to about 28 English inches or 0.7112 meters, used mainly before adopting the metric system.

Why convert Russian archin to Earth's distance from the Sun?

This helps compare traditional or historical lengths with large-scale astronomical distances for research, education, or analysis.

Is the Earth's distance from the Sun constant?

No, it varies throughout the year due to Earth's elliptical orbit, so the astronomical unit is an average distance.

Examples

10 Russian archins equal approximately 4.7540106951871e-11 Earth's distance from the Sun
100 Russian archins equal approximately 4.7540106951871e-10 Earth's distance from the Sun

Common Use Cases

Interpreting lengths on historical Russian maps and documents
Bridging old Russian measurements with astronomy data
Planning educational content about solar system distances
Analyzing spacecraft trajectory scales using traditional units

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the original measurement is correctly identified as Russian archin
Use the conversion primarily for approximate or comparative purposes
Understand that Earth's distance from the Sun is an average value and varies slightly
Combine this tool with historical knowledge for accurate context in research

Limitations

Conversion results are extremely small numerical values due to vast scale differences
Russian archin is obsolete and historical, so measurements may lack precision
The astronomical unit is an average Earth-Sun distance and varies modestly over time
