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

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.

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.

How many square feet is the earth?

If earth has 196,940,400 square miles of total surface area (land and water) as most of the websites indicate (some websites say 196,935,000 square miles). Multiply by 5,280 squared: 5,490,383,247,360,000 square feet (Or if the other websites are correct: 5,490,232,704,000,000 square feet) In any event, a little less than 5-1/2 quadrillion square feet. ===== As an aside, the largest body in the solar system (the Sun): Approximately 864,000 miles in diameter according to most sources. Comes out to 2,345,184,368,640 square miles of _extremely_hot_ 'surface' area. Or, a little more than 2-1/3 trillion square miles. Square feet? Try 65,379,987,902,693,376,000 square feet, (just as hot). Or, a little more than 65-1/3 quintillion square feet. Wouldn't be very much fun to count. Ugh! Get me some water!
