One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths.

1.3 million...wow!

The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the
largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system
mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across
the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths.
The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a
temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F).
This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions
of energy at the surface.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/44E7A234-0F94-4227-AAB3-950F1CC027D0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
