2. I don't know what astrologist you've been seeing but even by their own standard, 400 is way off. It's very easy to look up. If you did that, this is what you'd find: EARTH . . 1,083,206,916,846 km³
SUN . . . . 1,412,000,000,000,000,000 km³ 3. Simple arithmetic is all that's required, you can probably do it on your device in about 5 seconds. 1,412,000,000,000,000,000 ÷ 1,083,206,916,846 ≈ 1,303,536¾ 4. Scientists therefore claim the sun is One million Three hundred and three thousand Five hundred and thirty-six times bigger than the earth. |
Sister I can confirm this is accurate from my own independent measurements of the velocity. They both travel at about the same speed through the sky so if the Sun was in an orbit so much farther away it would be traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light. It would release Cerenkov radiation as it circled the Earth in a gravitational lock, losing energy and descending into the ocean within a matter of days. This obviously has not happened.
