What is the Sun's radius as a unit?

It is the average radius of the Sun used in astronomy, approximately 6.957×10^8 metres, symbolized as R☉.

What does famn measure?

Famn is a traditional maritime unit equal to one fathom, or about 1.8288 metres, historically used for nautical depths and distances.

Why convert between Sun's radius and famn?

To express vast stellar sizes in terms familiar to maritime contexts and historical nautical measurements.
