Our sun is so massive, you could fit more than one million earths inside of it. To find out how many peas would fit inside the biggest object in our solar system, I decided to ask my friend and mathematician Kimberly Vincent at Washington State University.

The volume of the sun is about 1,410,000,000,000,000 cubic kilometers, or more than 2 million Pacific Oceans.

Using a similar calculation, students estimated you could fit about 141,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 peas in the sun.

We could estimate 141 sextillion peas could fit in the sun.
