What is a yard used for?

A yard is a unit of length commonly utilized in everyday measurements like building materials, sports distances, and fabric length.

Why convert yards to the Sun's radius?

This conversion helps express familiar terrestrial distances on an astronomical scale, useful for comparing sizes of stars and other celestial objects.

Is this converter accurate for all contexts?

The converter is intended for astronomical and educational purposes; due to scale differences and rounding, it is not practical for general length measurements.
