how many times can earth be put inside the sun?

Answer 1

Only once, it would be destroyed after.

Smart aleking aside, the sun's radius is 109 times that of the earth. Volume of a sphere is a function of the 3rd power of the radius, so 109^3 = 1295029, or to make a round number, 1.3 million times.

But in a few billion years, the sun will bloat out to a red giant. about 200 times larger. The volume then will be 10.4E12 time the volume of earth, perhaps a bit more.

Answer 2

The Sun is about 100 times as wide as the Earth. So the Sun has a volume 100*100*100 = 1,000,000 times Earth's. However, to fit a million Earth inside the sun, you would have to squish all the Earths into strange shapes to get rid of all the space between all those Earth sized balls. How many you could fit without squishing any is a trickier question.

Answer 3

About 1-million Earth's would fit inside the sun.

Answer 4

Radius of Earth = 6400 km
Radius of Sun = 696,000 km

V = 4/3 x PI x Radius^3

Volume of Earth = 4/3 x (3.1415926) x (6400)^3 km^3
= 1.0980662194 x 10^12


Volume of Sun = 4/3 x (3.1415926) x (696000)^3 km^3
= 1.4122654291 x 10^18

Volume of Sun/Volume of Earth = 1286139

That means that we can put 1,286,139 Earths inside the Sun.

Answer 5

Volume of Sun = 1.412 * 10^29 m^3
Volume of Earth = 1.0832 * 10^21 m^3

(1.412 * 10^29 m^3) / (1.0832 * 10^21 m^3) = 130000

130000 times

Answer 6

If you want a rough way of calculating the volume of a sphere, simply half the cube of the box it would just fit into.

Which means of course that when you fit a ball into a square box that is just big enough for it, the empty space in there is just about the volume of the ball.

Answer 7

The sun if hollowed out would hold one million three hundred thousands earth's. Big aint it?

Answer 8

Once. There is only one earth and it wil burn up in the sun

Answer 9

about 3 million

Answer 10

Only once, because the sun would burn it up and you'd have nothing left.
