Distance • The distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 150 million km (149, 597, 900 km) • The diameter of the Earth is 12, 756 km or 7926 mi (at the equator).

Distance • 150, 000 / 12756 = 11760

Relative Size • The diameter of the Sun is 1, 391, 980 km and that of the Earth is 12, 756 km. • The ratio of those two is 109 (rounded) • So what?

• the Sun 1, 295, 000 times larger than the Earth • Vearth= π R 3 = 3. 14 *1 • Vsun = 3. 14 * (109*109) • Vsun / Vearth = 1, 295, 000
