Solution

The volume of the Sun is approximately 1,300,000 times larger than the Earth. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = 4/3 * π * r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere.

  2. The average radius of the Sun is about 696,340 kilometers, and the average radius of the Earth is about 6,371 kilometers.

  3. Plugging these values into the formula, we get the volume of the Sun as about 1.41 * 10^18 cubic kilometers and the volume of the Earth as about 1.08 * 10^12 cubic kilometers.

  4. Dividing the volume of the Sun by the volume of the Earth, we get approximately 1,300,000.

So, the Sun is about 1,300,000 times larger than the Earth in terms of volume.
