OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
It sure makes the big picture very clear.
Your statement:
“The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth”
Please clarify.
By my calculations:
Sun diameter is 108 Earth diameters
Sun volume is 5,280,000 earth volumes
Sun mass is 332,998 Earth masses
What do you mean by “as big as”?
Otherwise, I agree totally with your statements.
