Using an average distance of 93,000,000 miles between the Earth and the Sun, and a diameter of 8,000 miles for the Earth, this would mean the Sun is 11,625 Earth-Diameters away! To put it another way: If the Sun were the size of a regulation 9-inch Basketball, then the Earth would be just a bit bigger than the head of a pin, and located 77 feet away! (The nearest Star/basketball would be about 4,000 miles away!)

The question is unusual, but we'll take it at face value . . .

The distance from the earth to the sun averages about 93,000,000 miles,

and the earth's diameter is about 8,000 miles. These rough figures are

close enough to pull out a number that will point close to the answer.

If several earths were lined up between our present position and the sun ...

like beads on a string ... it would take (93,000,000 / 8000) of them, or about

11,625 earths

to cover the distance from the earth to the sun.

Of course that depends on how fast you travel and what route you take.

If you could travel from earth to sun in a straight line, then

-- at 100 miles per hour . . . . . 38,750 days = about 106 years

-- at 343 meters per second (speed of sound at sea level) . . . 5,050 days = about 13.8 years

-- at 300,000 kilometers per second (speed of light) . . 8.3 minutes = about 0.00058 day
