Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Solar Radii to Solar Diameters calculated?

The factor is derived by reducing both units to meters and applying the fixed planetary or solar radius/diameter reference constants for the route.

How do I reverse Solar Radii to Solar Diameters?

Use the mirror Solar Diameters to Solar Radii route; it applies the inverse relationship for the opposite direction with the same assumptions.
