A terameter (Tm) is an SI-derived unit of length equal to one trillion metres, used for expressing very large distances such as interplanetary distances.

Why convert terameters to the Sun's radius?

Converting terameters to the Sun's radius allows easier comparison of extremely large distances with a familiar astronomical scale.

Is the Sun's radius constant?

No, the Sun's radius is an average value that can vary slightly depending on measurement methods and solar activity.

Examples

Convert 2 Tm to Sun's radius: 2 × 1436.7816091954 = 2873.56 R☉
Convert 0.5 Tm to Sun's radius: 0.5 × 1436.7816091954 = 718.39 R☉

Common Use Cases

Expressing interplanetary distances within the solar system relative to the Sun's size.
Reporting and comparing sizes of stars using the Sun's radius as a reference.
Modeling stellar structure and evolution by inputting distances in Sun's radius units.
Determining exoplanet sizes by relating transit measurements to the host star's radius.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify entered values to ensure accurate conversions.
Use the Sun’s radius unit for clearer, comparative understanding of stellar and planetary scales.
Be aware that the Sun's radius is an average and may vary with measurement conditions.
Apply conversions thoughtfully when modeling or interpreting astronomical data.

Limitations

Large scale conversions may involve rounding that affects precision.
The Sun’s radius is an averaged measure and can show slight variations due to solar activity or measurement methods.
