The sun has a mass of around 1.988x10^30 kilograms, and is about 1,391,000 kilometers across. Atmospheric refraction is responsible for the sun appearing larger as it rises or sets on the horizon, but it does not change size. ChaCha!

The Sun's diameter is 864,938 miles (1,391,980 km). This is almost 10 times larger than the planet Jupiter and about 109 times as big as the Earth. The volume of the Sun is 1,299,400 times bigger than the volume of the Earth; about 1,300,000 Earths could fit inside the Sun

The Sun is 875,000 miles across, though scientists usually use kilometers, in which case it is 1,392,000 kilometers across. It is also very heavy. To write its weight in kilograms (1kg = 2 pounds, more or less) you write 2 followed by 30 zeros!

The Sun makes up 99% of the mass of the entire Solar System. Needless to say, it's huge.

The Sun's total surface area is 6.1e18 square meters. That's the same as 11,900 Earths.
