The circumference of the equatorial great circle of the Sun is 1.43545 E+10 = 14354.5 million feet.

Explanation:

I understand circumference of the Sun as the circumference of the solar disc that is nearly the circumference of the Sun's equator.

Equatorial radius of the Sun is 696342 km, nearly.

The circumference of the equator = #2pi X 696342#

= 4375246 km

=4375246/1.609344=2718652 miles

=2718652 X 5280 feet

=14354.5 million feet.
