Question

How much larger is the solar system than earth?

Answer 1

Roughly `1,174,053,296` or `1.174*10^9` times earths size.

Explanation:

Earth's radius is 6371 km but for the sake of convenience I will take its diameter 12,742 km as its size.

What we have farthest in Solar system is Oort Cloud, at a distance of 100,000 Astronomical Unit.

As an Astronomical Unit is approx. 149,597,871 km, you can say solar system is `100000*149597871/12742` times Earth i.e.

roughly `1,174,053,296` or `1.174*10^9` times earths size.

Answer 2

If the comparison is 3-dimensional, the solar system is about 1.3 E+19 times as large as the Earth.

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth in AU unit is 4.24 E-05. Using formula for space of a sphere, and assuming that heliosphere has radius 100 AU, the ratio is 1. E+06 / 7.6 E-14 = 1.3 E+19.
