Why do scientist developed the solar Mass and solar radius?

In order to conveniently compare the distances from the various planets, astronomers devised a measure called the "astronomical unit". The Earth is one AU from the Sun. In order to conveniently compare the sizes of other stars to our Sun, astronomers use a "solar mass" as the mass of the Sun. and a "solar radius" as the radius of our Sun. This helps to make the comparisons more obvious to non-astronomers.
