The Sun is about 1,000,000,000 times the Earth’s mass

About 333,000 times, actually.

quantim: "The Sun is about 1,000,000,000 times the Earth's mass..."

Hartley: "333,000 times, actually."

According to Wiki...

Sun Mass - 4.38 X 10 (to the 30th) Pounds

Earth Mass - 1.32 X 10 (to the 25th) Pounds

Is the next line below what your calculation looks like...

3.06 X 10 (to the 5th) - ???

I will guess that the precise radius of the sun has been the subject of disagreement for a couple of centuries?

The volume of the sun (as defined by radius?) is 1.3 million times larger than the Earth.
