Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -It holds 99.8% of the solar system’s mass and is roughly 109 times the diameter of the Earth-about one million Earths could fit inside the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Size and Distance Many stars are much larger – but the Sun is far more massive than our home planet: it would take more than 330, 000 Earths to match the mass of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun’s volume. The Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Our Sun is a bright, hot ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of our solar system. It is 864, 000 miles (1, 392, 000 km) in diameter, which makes it 109 times wider than Earth.
