They say you can fit 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun. <break time="1.0s" /> But… that number’s
not quite right. <break time="1.0s" /> That 1.3 million figure comes from dividing the Sun’s volume — about 1.41
× 10²⁷ cubic meters — by Earth’s volume, which is 1.08 × 10²¹ cubic meters. <break time="1.0s" />

Earths… it’s closer to 960,000. <break time="1.0s" /> Still, that’s nearly a million entire Earths
