  • How Many Earths Could Fit in the Sun? - A Volume Comparison
    You can't fit whole Earths inside the Sun, but you can ask how many times the Sun's volume is larger than the Earth's volume.

    Here's how to figure that out:

    * Sun's radius: 695,000 kilometers

    * Earth's radius: 6,371 kilometers

    1. Calculate volumes:

    * Sun's volume: (4/3) * π * (695,000 km)³ ≈ 1.41 x 10^18 km³

    * Earth's volume: (4/3) * π * (6,371 km)³ ≈ 1.08 x 10^12 km³

    2. Divide Sun's volume by Earth's volume:

    (1.41 x 10^18 km³) / (1.08 x 10^12 km³) ≈ 1,305,556

    Answer: The Sun's volume is about 1.3 million times larger than the Earth's volume.
