Earth Compared to The Size and Mass
of The Sun
 
   
 

 
   
   
How is this for size, If the Sun were the size of a basketball the earth would be the size of a match head. Over 1 million earths can fit snuggly inside of our Sun. The Sun is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) miles away from earth with a surface temperature of 5,788k .

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System and is by far the largest object within. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields.

The sun has a radius of 696,000 compared to earths radius of just 6,376. How is that for size? Remember.. its always a sunny day. Clouds are what obscure the suns rays.
