How many earth's can fit inside a sun?

In theory this is plain wrong, because the sun, as well as the earth, is approximately a sphere and you can't pack spheres infinitely dense.

> In reality: There's only 1 earth, so only 1 earth fits inside our sun.

In reality the earth is too far away from the sun for that and it will remain so for the coming ~5billion years. Then, the sun will become a red giant and will swallow mercury, venus and (barely) earth.

Yes: it is called trigonometric functions.

all of them!

Dear @HemaWorst, great question !

Good to know you got something out of the video.

1,300,000

The volume of the Sun is 1.412 x 10 18 km 3 .
And the volume of the Earth is 1.083 x 10 12 km 3 .
So if you divide the volume of the Sun by the volume of the Earth, you get 1,300,000.

Yeah, as Sun is below the Chandrasekhar limit, it will not cause a supernova. It will expand into a Red Giant and then contract to a White Dwarf. But in the Red Giant step, Mercury and Venus and probably Earth will be gobbled.

Very many. Are you believe in life on other planets?

Approx 960k.in reference one it says:
960,000 Earths
But the Earth’s shape is spherical not a cube, so only about 960,000 Earths would fit inside the volume of the sun. Here’s how it would look like (approximately) if the Earth was a tiny blue marble:
