Answer (2)

Earth to sun is 92,960,000 miles. 5280 feet (1760) yards in one mile. 92.96 mil X 1760 = 163,600,000,000 yrds from earth to sun.
163,600,000,000/100 = 1,636,096,000.
So, 1,636,096,000 football fields can be fit in between the earth and sun
Misc. Work 5280/3 = 1760

The Sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth, which is approximately 163.68 billion yards. This distance corresponds to about 1.64 billion football fields. The calculations involve converting miles to yards and then determining how many football fields fit into that distance.
