Earth vs Sun (size)

One million Earths could fit inside the Sun:
If a hollow Sun was filled up with spherical Earths then around 960,000 would fit inside. On the other hand if these Earths were squished inside with no wasted space then around 1,300,000 would fit inside. The Sun’s surface area is 11,990 times that of the Earth’s.

Size of Earth:

However, Earth is not quite a sphere. The planet's rotation causes it to bulge at the equator. Earth's equatorial diameters 7,926 miles(12,756 kilometers), but from pole to pole, the diameter is 7,900 miles (12,720 km)-a difference of only 40 miles (64 km)


Size of Sun:
Diameter: 1,392,684 km
Circumference at Equator: 4,370,005.6 km
Mass: 1,989,100,000,000,000,000,000 billion kg (333,060 x Earth)
Surface Temperature: 5500 °C
