How big is our sun?

Upvote6 Downvote2

The mean radius of the sun is 432,450 miles (696,000 kilometers), which makes its diameter about 864,938 miles (1.392 million km). You could line up 109 Earths across the face of the sun. The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km).

Also asked, how big is the sun compared to the earth?

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.

How many Earth can fit inside Sun?

The answer is that it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun. That's a lot of Earths. The Sun makes up 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. And it's the giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn which make the most of that remaining .14% of the Solar System.

What is bigger the Earth or the sun?

Nope, the Sun is much, much bigger than the Earth. From here on Earth, the Sun looks smaller than the Earth, but that's only because you're much closer to the Earth than the Sun. You're standing on the surface of the Earth, while the Sun is 150 million km away.

How many suns are there?

For many years scientists have studied our own solar system. But until the last few years, we knew of no other solar systems. This may seem surprising, as the Sun is one of about 200 billion stars (or perhaps more) just in the Milky Way galaxy alone.

What is the biggest planet in the world?

Largest Planet: Jupiter. The largest planet in our solar system by far is Jupiter, which beats out all the other planets in both mass and volume. Jupiter's mass is more than 300 times that of Earth, and its diameter, at 140,000 km, is about 11 times Earth's diameter.

What is the largest star?

VY Canis Majoris

What is the biggest sun in the universe?

Supergiant stars are the largest stars in the universe. They can be thousands of times bigger than our Sun and have a mass up to 100 times greater. The largest known supergiant star, VY Canis Majoris, is up to 2,100 times the size of the Sun (based on upper estimates).

5

Is the sun is the biggest star?

Answer: The largest known star (in terms of mass and brightness) is called the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright! In 1990, a star named the Pistol Star was known to lie at the center of the Pistol Nebula in the Milky Way Galaxy.

6

How big is Canis Majoris compared to the sun?

The largest stars, in contrast, will be cool supergiants. Case in point, VY Canis Majoris is only 3,500 Kelvin, and a really big star would be even cooler. At 3,000 Kelvin, Humphreys estimates that cool supergiant would be as big as 2,600 times the size of the Sun.

7

What is the largest planet in the universe?

Largest Planet. Located in the constellation Hercules, planet TRES4 is 70% larger than Jupiter in diameter, but has only 80% of Jupiter's mass. Because of how close it orbits to its sun, it is thought that the intense heat expand the gasses that make up this planet, resulting in an almost 'marshmallow-like' density.

8

How big is the sun and moon?

At this particular moment in Earth's history – although the sun's diameter is about 400 times larger than that of the moon – the sun is also about 400 times farther away. So the sun and moon appear nearly the same size as seen from Earth.

How many Jupiters can you put in the sun?

Published on Apr 28, 2013.
Animation showing how many times the planet Jupiter will fit into the interior of the Sun. The Sun has around 985 times the volume of the gas giant planet, which in turn is well over a thousand times the volume of the humble Earth.

10

How many times can the Earth fit into VY Canis Majoris?

If we stack complete Earths, the most optimal configuration will fill 74% of the volume, so that's 2,75946 × 10 Earths. That's 2 quadrillion 759 trillion 460 billion Earths that fit into the volume of VY Canis Majoris with sphere packing.

How big is a star compared to the Earth?

The video “Star Size Comparison” (duration: 2:34) nicely visualizes how tiny Earth (diameter 12756 km) is compared to the Sun (diameter 1,392,000 km, 109.1 times Earth's). And how tiny the Sun is compared to other stars. Factoid from the video: VY Canis Majoris (a red hypergiant) is the largest known star.

12

Is Jupiter bigger than the sun?

The whopper sun emits light in similar wavelengths as our sun but its diameter is over 1300 times larger. That means it would engulf all the planets between Mercury and Jupiter if placed at the centre of our solar system.

13

How far are we from the sun?

150 million kilometers

14

How many times bigger than Jupiter is the sun?

The Sun's diameter is 864,938 miles (1,391,980 km). This is almost 10 times larger than the planet Jupiter and about 109 times as big as the Earth.

15

How many times can you fit the earth into the sun?

The Sun has a radius 100 times that of the Earth which means that about 1,000,000 (1 million) Earths would fit into the Sun! By the way, take a look at the NASA Kids site. I think you might like it.

16

How big is the moon in comparison to the earth?

The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km. Now, let's compare this to the Earth. The diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This means that the Moon is approximately 27% the size of the Earth.

17

How big is scuti?

If it is smaller by 192 solar radii, there are a few other candidates that would beat UY Scuti. The approximate size of the star is about 750m miles, or nearly eight astronomical units, where one astronomical unit is the distance between the earth and the sun.

18

Is our sun small medium or large?

The size of our sun. It turns out that our sun is an average sized star. There are bigger stars, and there are smaller stars. We have found stars that are 100 times bigger in diameter than our sun.

19

Is the sun a planet or a star?

The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System (Jupiter contains most of the rest). It is often said that the Sun is an "ordinary" star.
