What is cubit (UK)

The "cubit" is an ancient unit of measurement for length that was historically used in various cultures, including ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Hebrew Bible. It was typically based on the length of a person's forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. As a result, the actual length of a cubit could vary from region to region and even from person to person.

In the United Kingdom and other parts of the world where the British imperial system was historically used, a cubit was typically defined as roughly 18 inches or about 45.72 centimeters. This is often referred to as the "British cubit."

However, it's important to note that the cubit is an ancient and non-standardized unit of measurement that has largely fallen out of use in modern times. Today, standardized units such as feet, meters, and inches are used for precise measurements, and the cubit is primarily of historical and cultural interest.

What is Sun's radius

The Sun's radius, often denoted as "R☉," is the distance from the center of the Sun to its outer edge or surface. The Sun is not a solid object but a massive, hot, and highly compressed ball of gas, primarily hydrogen and helium.

The average or mean radius of the Sun is approximately 696,340 kilometers (about 432,685 miles). Keep in mind that the Sun's outer boundary is not sharply defined, and its structure consists of different layers, including the core, radiative zone, convective zone, and the visible surface known as the photosphere.

The Sun's radius is a fundamental parameter in astronomy and solar physics and is used as a reference point for measuring distances within the solar system and studying the properties and behavior of the Sun.
