How many times does our sun fit in the Pistol Star?

Answer 1

According to data found in the Wikipedia, the Pistol Star has 306 times the diameter of our Sun.

Raise that to the third power (306 cubed) to get the ratio of the volumes.

Please note that due to the fairly large distance of the star, the numbers may not be entirely accurate.

Of course, there would be space between the spheres of the "Suns".

However, I think the idea in these questions is to ignore that.

We are just looking for a straight comparison of volumes.

So, the answer seems to be 306 cubed. That's 306 x 306 x 306.

That's 28,652,616. That's over 28 million.

Answer 2

The Pistol Star is estimated to be about 100 times more massive than our sun, so our sun would fit into the Pistol Star approximately 100 times.
