  • How Many Earths Fit Inside the Sun? - A Volume Calculation
    You can't fit Earth *inside* the Sun, because the Sun is a giant ball of hot gas, and Earth is a solid planet.

    However, you can ask how many Earths would fit *by volume* within the Sun.

    Here's how to calculate that:

    * Sun's volume: 1.41 x 10^18 km³

    * Earth's volume: 1.08 x 10^12 km³

    Divide the Sun's volume by the Earth's volume:

    (1.41 x 10^18 km³) / (1.08 x 10^12 km³) = 1.3 x 10^6

    Therefore, about 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun by volume.
