1. Assume that the radius of Earth is $4000$ miles. The Sun is approximately $109$ times as wide. What is the Sun’s radius?

2. The distance between Earth and the Moon is $238{,}900$ miles. Compare this distance with the radius of the Sun you found in part (a).

3. If the Sun were hollow, how many Earths would fill the inside of it?
