How much bigger is the solar system compared to the sun?

-- The diameter of the sun is roughly 864,000 miles. -- The average diameter of the earth's orbit is 186 million miles ... 215 times the sun's diameter. -- The average diameter of the orbit of Pluto is 7.34 billion miles ... 8,495 times the sun's diameter. -- The roughly-spherical Oort Cloud of small, icy bodies orbiting the sun, is estimated to extend to a radius of up to 4.3 trillion miles ... 3/4 of a light-year ... around the sun. That makes its diameter almost 10 million times the sun's diameter.
