Question

The radius of the Sun is ≈ 865,000 miles and the radius of Earth is ≈ 8,000 miles. For ease since
you can’t use a calculator, let’s make the radius of the Sun = 800,000 miles. How many times
larger is the Sun than Earth?

Answer 1

The sun is larger than the earth times

How to determine how many times larger is the Sun than Earth?

The given radii of the sun and the earth are:

Radius of Sun = 865,000 miles

Radius of Earth = 8,000 miles.

For ease of calculation, we have

Radius of the Sun = 800,000 miles

The number of times the sun is larger than the earth is calculated as:

Number of times = Radius of the Sun/Radius of Earth

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Number of times = 800,000 miles/8,000 miles

Evaluate the quotient

Number of times = 100

Hence, the sun is larger than the earth times
