What is the Sun's radius used for?

The Sun's radius serves as an astronomical unit to compare stellar sizes, input scale in stellar modeling, and reference for measuring exoplanet dimensions.

Why convert Sun's radius to angstroms?

Converting Sun's radius to angstroms helps relate large astronomical distances to atomic-scale measurements, aiding interdisciplinary studies.

Are such extreme scale conversions practical?

These conversions are mostly theoretical and useful in scientific research rather than daily measurement tasks.
