Answer:

The diameter of the Sun is 1.395×10⁹m.

Explanation:

We will use the following formula to solve this question,

D=d\theta       (1)

Where,

D=diameter of the sun

d=distance of the sun from the earth

θ=angular diameter of the sun

From the questions we have,

d=150×10⁶Km=150×10⁶×10³=1.5×10¹¹m          (1Km=1000m)

θ=9.3×10⁻³rad

By substituting the values of d and θ in equation (1) we get;

D=1.5\times 10^1^1\times 9.3\times 10^-^3

D=13.95\times 10^8m

D=1.395\times 10^9m

Hence, the diameter of the Sun is 1.395×10⁹m.
