* Diameter: 865,000 miles (1.392 million kilometers)

* Circumference: 2.7 million miles (4.37 million kilometers)

* Mass: 333,000 times the mass of Earth

* Volume: 1.3 million times the volume of Earth

To put it into perspective:

* You could fit 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun.

* If the Sun were a hollow sphere, you could fit over a million Earths inside it.

* The Sun makes up 99.86% of the total mass of our solar system!

It's truly a massive star!
