How many times larger is the Sun than the Earth?

The radius of the Sun is 696 thousand kilometers, and the average radius of the Earth is 6371 kilometers. It follows that the Sun is approximately 109 times larger than the Earth in linear dimensions, and 1,3 million times in volume.

The mass of the Sun is 2 trillion quadrillion (two with 27 zeros) tons, while the mass of the Earth is "only" 6 sextillion (six with 21 zeros) tons. Therefore, the mass of the Sun is 333 thousand times larger than the Earth.

The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Sun is 274 meters per second per second and is 28 times greater than the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth, which is, as everyone knows, 9,81 meters per second per second. Therefore, any object on the surface of the Sun will weigh 28 times more than it weighs on the surface of the Earth (unless, of course, it burns up).

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why were cars previously depicted in cartoons with oval wheels?

In early cameras, the central shutter speed was slow, so moving shutters were used to capture moving subjects. Because of this, photos of driving cars were obtained with oval wheels. However, this was not perceived as a defect - it was believed that such pictures are the best way to emphasize swiftness and speed. Later, this is why comic and cartoon artists often depicted cars with oval wheels.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Genetics - for the new year 03.12.2001

The largest producers of Christmas trees for American families are the states of Oregon and North Carolina. Actually, in the USA, they didn’t eat, but fir trees are more popular for this holiday: they have longer and more beautiful needles, a well-pronounced aroma, and they last longer without losing their needles.

At the University of North Carolina, arborists and geneticists are working on breeding fir that is resistant to a fungal disease brought to the US from Southeast Asia in the 7th century, root rot. Now about XNUMX percent of the state's fir plantations are affected by root rot. By the way, it is caused by the phytophthora fungus, well known to our gardeners. If the spores of the fungus got into the soil, it is already impossible to get rid of them. American fir seedlings are transplanted onto the roots of two other species that are resistant to root rot.

Meanwhile, Danish breeders have bred larch with reduced moisture evaporation. Such a tree will continue to stand in the room without crumbling and without losing its festive look.
