Question

The diameter of the sun is $(1.4\times {10}^9)m$ and the diameter of the earth is $(1.2756\times {10}^7)m$. Show that the diameter of the sun is nearly $100$ times the diameter of the earth.

Answer 1

Diameter of the sun is $1.4\times {10}^{9}m$

Diameter of the earth is $1.2756\times {10}^{7}m$

$\frac{Diameterofthesun}{Diameteroftheearth}=\frac{1.4\times {10}^9}{1.2756\times {10}^7}=100$

$⟹$ Diameter of the sun $=100\times$Diameter of the Earth
