The actual value for the diameter of the Sun is 1 . 4 × 10 9 m . Determine the percentage difference between your calculated value and the actual value.

From activity, we have D = 1 . 5 × 10 11 × d x ⇒ D = 1 . 5 × 10 11 × 3 300 ⇒ D = 1 . 5 × 10 9 m Now percentage difference is, ∆ % a g e = ( 1 . 5 - 1 . 4 ) × 10 9 1 . 4 × 10 9 × 100 = 7 . 14 % Therefore, calculated value is nearly seven percent more than the actual value.
