It varies slightly from pole to equator due to its rotation, which induces an oblateness in the order of 10 parts per million . (See 1 gigametre for similar distances .) </P> <P> The unmanned SOHO spacecraft was used to measure the radius of the Sun by timing transits of Mercury across the surface during 2003 and 2006 . The result was a measured radius of 696,342 ± 65 kilometres (432,687 ± 40 miles). </P>
