Answer:

The Sun's diameter is [tex]1.075\times 10^2[/tex] times the Earth's diameter.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sun's diameter = 860,000 miles

Earth's diameter = 8000 miles

Comparison of Sun's and Earth's diameter:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Sun's Diameter}}{\text{Earth's Diameter}}\\\\=\dfrac{860000}{8000}\\\\=\dfrac{8.6\times 10^{5}}{8\times 10^3}\\\\=1.075\times 10^2[/tex]

Thus, the Sun's diameter is [tex]1.075\times 10^2[/tex] times the Earth's diameter.
