109
B
105
C
100
D
113
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The diameters of the Sun and earth are 1.4 × 109 meters and 1.275 × 107 respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is 864, 400 miles (1, 391, 000 kilometers) across. This is about 109 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun weighs about 333, 000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1, 300, 000 planet Earths can fit inside of it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The diameter of the earth is 12, 742 kilometers whereas the diameter of the sun is 1.3 million kilometers. It means 109 earth can be lined up across the face of the sun. Therefore sun’s diameter is 109 times more than the earth’s.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun has a diameter of about 1, 392, 000 km ( 865, 000 miles). Earth’s diameter is 12, 742 km (7, 917.5 miles). The diameter of the Sun is thus 109 times as great as the Earth’s diameter. In other words, you could line up 109 Earths across the face of the Sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is 864, 000 miles (1, 392, 000 km) in diameter, which makes it 109 times wider than Earth.
