I assume you are referring to the intensity of sunlight. This goes out from the Sun in an inverse-square law, so at 4 times the distance, you would only have 1/16 times the intensity of get on Earth. This so-called "solar constant" OUTSIDE of Earth's atmosphere, and for ALL radiation, not just visible light, is about 1361 watts per square meter, so you simply need to divide this value by 16.

How many times the diameter of Earth is its distance from the Sun?

Earth's equatorial diameter = 7,926 milesAverage distance from the sun = 93,000,000 milesRatio of (distance to the sun) / (diameter) = (93,000,000 / 7,926)= 11,733You'd have to stack 11,733 earths belly-to-belly in order to reach from the sun to where we are.

How many suns fit between the earth and the sun?

The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average, enough to fit 107 more suns between the suns surface and Earth.


How would the speed of Earths orbit around the sun change if Earths distance from the sun increased by 4 times?

If Earth's distance from the Sun increased by four times, its orbital speed would decrease significantly. According to Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit. Therefore, with an increased distance, Earth would take longer to complete an orbit, resulting in a slower speed, roughly one-half of its current average orbital velocity.


How many earths could be placed in the sun?

Approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun. The Sun's diameter is about 109 times larger than Earth's, and its volume is about 1.3 million times greater.
