What is the Sun's radius used for?

The Sun's radius is used as an astronomical unit to compare star sizes and model stellar structures.

Why use fingerbreadth as a unit of length?

Fingerbreadth is an informal, easy-to-understand unit used in rough measurements like tailoring, clinical exams, and informal instructions.

Can I get exact measurements using this conversion?

No, because fingerbreadth varies between individuals, this conversion serves mainly for rough estimates and illustrative purposes.
