Question

The diameter of the Sun is 1.4 × 10⁹ m and the diameter of the Earth is 1.2756 × 10⁷ m.

Answer 1

Diameter of the Sun = 1.4 × 10⁹ m

Diameter of the earth = 1.2756 × 10⁷ m

Therefore,

`(1.4 xx 10^9)/(1.2756 xx 10^7) = (1.4 xx 10^(9 - 7))/(1.2756) = (1.4 xx 100)/(1.2756)`, which is approximately 100

So, the diameter of the Sun is about 100 times the diameter of the earth.
