How big in diameters is the sun?

Big. Very big.

Is the earth 108 sun diameters?

The Sun is about 108 times greater than the Earth in diameter. See related link for a visual picture.


What are the sizes of different stars?

Size of Stars Stars differ in size. Some stars have diameters of only 20 km. These stars are very much smaller than the earth. Our sun is just a medium-sized star. Many stars are much larger than the sun. Astronomers classify according to size. Supergiants are the largest known stars. The star Antares has a diameter 330 times that of the sun. The sun has a diameter of 1 392 000 km. Some supergiants have diameters about 1000 times of the sun. Giants are stars with diameters from 10 to 100 times that of the sun. The star Aldebaran is a giant with a diameter about 45 times that of the sun. Medium-sized stars are about the size of the sun. Their diameters range from 139 200 km to 13 920 000 km. Sirius is a medium-sized star. White dwarfs are small stars with diameters of less than 10 000 km. The smallest white dwarf is Van Maanen's star with a diameter of 8370 km.


Compared to the diameter density and mass of other stars the sun is?

There are two ways of comparing size: Mass, and volume. (Mass is the product of volume and density). Our sun is about average, perhaps a little above. It is expected there are lots of small red dwarf stars, which begin fusing hydrogen up around 15 Jovian masses. Since our sun out masses Jupiter by a factor of several thousand, the smallest stellar mass would approximately be one hundredth the mass of our sun. Note: there may be special circumstances a sun could be even smaller--see the link below. As for diameter, white dwarf stars could have diameters of 7000 miles--that is even smaller than our earth (8000 miles). Neutron stars are even smaller yet, with diameters up to one half mile, yet with roughly the mass of our own sun. The biggest stars can have masses hundreds of times that of our sun, and correspondingly large diameters. larger in diameter, more dense, average in mass

How many solar diameters would fit between the sun and the earth?

The suns diameter (solar diameter) is roughly 1,392,000km across, while the distance between the earth and sun is around 150,000,000 miles on average. So we are talking around 107.8 solar diameters between us and the suns centre or 107.3 solar diameters to the suns surface.

What are the of thousands of celestial bodies with diameters between 1 and 500 miles that revolve around the sun?

The assorted rocks in the asteroid belt, which orbits the sun roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, have large numbers of members with diameters between 1 and 500 miles. We might further speculate that the Oort cloud also contains many similar space rocks, but no one knows. If you'd like to investigate further, use the links below.

How big is a hyper-giant star?

Hypergiant simply means the largest of the large stars; there is no exact definition as to its size. For comparison, the largest stars (in diameter) have diameters 1000-2000 times that of the Sun; the most massive stars have 150-200 times the mass of the Sun; and the brightest stars (in absolute terms, not as seen by us) are estimated to have about 5 million times the brightness of the Sun.


How do you explain about how many diameters a circle has?
