Using an average distance of 93,000,000 miles between the Earth and the Sun, and a diameter of 8,000 miles for the Earth, this would mean the Sun is 11,625 Earth-Diameters away! To put it another way: If the Sun were the size of a regulation 9-inch Basketball, then the Earth would be just a bit bigger than the head of a pin, and located 77 feet away! (The nearest Star/basketball would be about 4,000 miles away!)
