Did you know: You could fit approximately 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun.

about 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun. This is based on the volume of the Sun compared to the volume of Earth. The Sun is vastly larger than our planet, with a diameter about 109 times greater and a volume roughly 1.3 million times larger.
Here's why:
Volume Calculation:
The volume of a sphere (like Earth and the Sun) is calculated using its radius. The Sun's radius is about 109 times that of Earth's, and when you cube that ratio (because volume is a three-dimensional measurement), you get roughly 1.3 million.
Packing Efficiency:
While the calculation shows that the Sun's volume is 1.3 million times Earth's, this assumes a perfect packing of spheres. In reality, when you pack spheres (like Earths) together, there will be some empty space between them. Therefore, the actual number of Earths that could physically fit inside the Sun might be slightly less than 1.3 million.
Conceptualizing the Size:
It's difficult to grasp the immense size of the Sun. For example, if you could somehow place 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun, you would just about fill its volume. The Sun's immense gravity also plays a role in holding everything in our solar system in orbit.

Geez all that room

Just shows how tiny we are - and I can't even fit a watermelon in my fridge
@fun4us2b i have to lay things down to fit in my fridge:/

But where would we get 1.3 million Earths? I'm not against it in principle, I just think it needs some planning.

We should try that.

So, what you're saying is Earth ain't so bright...

I knew that already... 🙄😏
@Neoerectus it's verified now
I hope we find out real soon🤞 🔥 🌏

Won't that just make global warming worse. 🤔🤔

Dude , the sun is never bigger than like a quarter when I see it in the sky . This is pure propaganda

And you can fit 1.3m suns inside MarkPaul's mom.

Ooooooh.
