How does the diameter and volume of the sun compare to the size and mass of other space objects?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
For example, the Sun is roughly 109 times the diameter of Earth; and about 10 times the diameter of Jupiter. The volume (for the simplifying assumption of perfect spheres) is proportional to the third power of the diameter.

How big is the sun compared to the moon and the earth?
Sun: 109 times the diameter of the Earth.Moon: About 1/4 the diameter of the Earth.Note that the surface is proportional to the second power; and the volume, to the third power of the diameter. For example, the Sun's volume is more than a million times the Earth's volume.You get yet other numbers if you compare masses, instead of diameter or volume.Sun: 109 times the diameter of the Earth.Moon: About 1/4 the diameter of the Earth.Note that the surface is proportional to the second power; and the volume, to the third power of the diameter.

How does the suns size compare to other objects in the solar system?

What is smaller moons comets asteroids or planets?
Although comets appear very large when they are near the Sun because of the large dust cloud that follows behind them, they are actually the smallest of the objects listed. Comets typically have a diameter of less than 6 miles, which is much smaller than the typical diameter of the other objects listed above.
How large is Pluto compared to other planets?
The volume of Pluto is 7.5 x 109 km3 or 0.0066 Earths... it would take 151.5 Pluto's to make up the volume of the Earth. Also, the diameter of the earth is 12,756 km and pluto's diameter is 2,296 km, meaning that it would take 5.55 plutos to equal the diameter of the earth.
What is the size of Mars compare to other planets in the Solar System?
Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.

how do you compare a million to other common objects?
What do you mean with other common objects? A million is not a "common object"; it's a number.
What is the formula for finding the volume of diameter?
There is no such thing as "volume of diameter". On the other hand, the calculation for volume depends on the type of figure, so you may want to ask another question, where you specify, for what figure you want to do the calculation.
How is an increase of diameter of a cell related to the increase in surface area and volume?
If all other dimensions of the cell remain the same, both surface area and volume should increase if the diameter is increased.
Is an objects weight is less than its mass?
Neither. You can't compare one with the other.

How wide is 8 mm?
Diameter is the value used to rate things such as balls, bullets, and other round objects. So an 8mm ball has a diameter of 8 millimetres.
What is the relationship between the surface area and the volume of a cell as one increases or decreases so does the other?
Remember that as the diameter of a spherical cell increases, the surface area increases as the square of the diameter, and the volume increases as the cube of the diameter, so volume increases much faster than surface area. The same principle applies for other shapes than spherical cells, but the math is more complicated.
What is go compare?
Gocompare.com is the UK's leading Insurance comparison site by volume. They also compare lots and lots of other products too....
How do cm 3 power and ml compare?
Cubic centimeters and milliliters are the same volume. One is length of dimensions and the other is in volume units.
Are two cylinders with the same volume are congruent?
Two cylinders with the same volume are not necessarily congruent. One could have a different diameter and length than the other, and still have the same volume.
