The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is about 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles). To determine how many times the size of the Sun (represented as X) fits between the Sun and Earth, we need to compare their respective sizes and calculate the ratio.
The diameter of the Sun is approximately 1.39 million kilometers (864,000 miles). Let's denote this value as D. Now, we can calculate the number of Sun diameters that fit between the Sun and Earth by dividing the distance between them by the diameter of the Sun:
Number of Sun diameters = Distance from Sun to Earth / Diameter of the Sun
Number of X's = (149.6 million km) / (1.39 million km)
Calculating this division, we find:
Number of X's ≈ 107.63
Therefore, approximately 107.63 X's (the size of the Sun) would fit between the Sun and the Earth when considering their respective sizes and the average distance between them.
