From Wikipedia, surface area of the sun is 6.0877 x 10 to the 18 sq meters. Now 1 mile = 1.609 km =1609 meters. So 1 sq mile = 2,588,881 sq meters = 2.588881 x 10 to the 6. Dividing 6.0877 by 2.588881 we get 2.3515, and dividing 10 to the 18 by 10 to the 6 we get 10 to the 12.
So answer = 2.3515 x 10 to the 12 miles.
Hope you understand how to use powers of 10, it is worth learning if you don't

True or false the sun's rays are concentrated over a smaller surface area in winter?
no
What state has an arc of a perfect circle?
At the moment of a lunar eclipse... the state when the earth, moon and sun are in direct alignment with each other. Details: At night, when a full moon is in the sky, and when the sun is directly behind the earth in line with the moon, and the shadow of the earth is projected onto the moon's surface.... "The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle."~Nicolaus Copernicus. A similar effect can be observed during an annular eclipse of the sun, when the moon comes between the earth and the sun, obscuring the sun except for a bright ring of sunlight around the circumference.
What are two examples of a parallel beam of light?
One example of a parallel beam of light is sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, as the rays from the Sun are nearly parallel due to the vast distance between the Sun and Earth. Another example is laser light, which is produced by stimulated emission and consists of highly coherent and parallel rays due to the nature of the laser's construction and operation.
Are shadows longer or shorter than your actual height?
it depends on where the sun is in the sky If the sun is at its highest point ur hsadows will be shorter but as the sun get slower your shadow will get longer
How many lines of symmetry does a sun have?
If you think of the sun as a slightly flattened sphere, then infinitely many lines of symmetry. If you go in for more details and include all the sun spots and flares and so on, probably none.If you think of the sun as a slightly flattened sphere, then infinitely many lines of symmetry.
