    Diameter of Sun in model = 168 inches = 14 feet = 4.27 m

    Explanation:

    Diameter of Sun = 100 x Diameter of Earth.

    We are creating a model where Earth is same as golf ball,

    Diameter of Earth in model = Diameter of golf ball

    Diameter of Earth in model = 1.68 inches

    Diameter of Sun in model = 100 x Diameter of Earth in model

    Diameter of Sun in model = 100 x 1.68

    Diameter of Sun in model = 168 inches = 14 feet

    Diameter of Sun in model = 168 inches = 14 feet = 4.27 m
