One solar mass, {{Solar mass|}}, can be converted to related units:<ref>{{Cite web|title=Planetary Fact Sheet|url=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/|access-date=2020-09-01|website=nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov}}</ref>
* {{math|{{val|27068510}} ''M''<sub>L</sub>}} ([[Lunar mass]])
* {{math|{{val|332946}} {{Earth mass}}}} ([[Earth mass]])
* {{math|{{val|1047.35}} {{Jupiter mass}}}} ([[Jupiter mass]])

It is also frequently useful in [[general relativity]] to express mass in units of length or time.
* {{math|{{Solar mass}} ''G'' / ''c''<sup>2</sup> ≈ 1.48 km}} (half the [[Schwarzschild radius]] of the Sun)
* {{math|{{Solar mass}} ''G'' / ''c''<sup>3</sup> ≈ 4.93 μs}}

The solar mass parameter (''G''·{{Solar mass|}}), as listed by the IAU Division I Working Group, has the following estimates:<ref>
