GregP Jun 2021 11:39am, 19 Jun 2021 127,282 posts	0 GregP SO how many of our suns can we fit inside it? O Level maths. I should be able to do this.
McGoohan Jun 2021 11:42am, 19 Jun 2021 49,681 posts	0 McGoohan Volume is 4/3 x pi x r^3
McGoohan Jun 2021 11:43am, 19 Jun 2021 49,682 posts	0 McGoohan So if we take our sun as 1 unit, I suppose we could fit 4/3 x 22/7 x 1700^3 (approx!)
McGoohan Jun 2021 11:45am, 19 Jun 2021 49,683 posts	0 McGoohan That's 20587809523.80952380952380952381 or approx 20,587,809,523 so over 20 billion? That sounds a lot. Have I miscalculated this?

McGoohan Jun 2021 11:57am, 19 Jun 2021 49,684 posts	0 McGoohan According to wikipedia UY Scuti is 5 billion times larger than our sun so I'm out by a factor of 4.
