Find how much bigger the sun diameter is than the moon

Reference no: EM13663291

The moon barely covers the sun at a solar eclipse. Given that the moon is 4 x 105 kilometer from Earth and that the Sun is 1.5 x 108 kilometer from Earth, find how much bigger the Sun diameter is than the moon. If the moon's radius is 1800 kilometer, determine how big is the Sun?
