Antares vs Sun

And you’ve probably seen this picture comparing the sun to the various planets in our solar system (and pluto):

Sun vs Earth

Well, today I decided to figure out how big Earth is in comparison to Antares, which meant I had to find out how big Earth is in comparison to the Sun and the Sun to Antares, because I couldn’t find the information.

As it turns out, ~1,000,000 Earths could fit inside our solar system’s Sun [1]. Wow. Then I found out that about 350,000,000 suns could fit inside the large Antares super giant [2]. That means (350,000,000 X 1,000,000) is how many Earths would fit inside Antares — 350,000,000,000,000 or three hundred and fifty trillion Earths.

That just blows me away. We are very tiny indeed.
