What does one Sun's radius represent in metres?

One Sun's radius is approximately 6.957×10^8 metres, representing the mean radius of the Sun.

What is a micrometer used to measure?

A micrometer measures very small lengths such as sizes of microorganisms, thicknesses of coatings, and dimensions in micro devices.

Why convert from Sun's radius to micrometer?

This conversion helps relate astronomical measurements to microscopic scales, facilitating cross-scale scientific analysis and calibration.
