Thats right! 5 points!

Despite its large mass, the Sun has a lower density, or mass per unit volume, than Earth. The Sun’s average density is only 1.409 g/cu cm (1.188 oz/cu in), which is a quarter of the average density of Earth. The Sun produces an enormous amount of light. It generates 3.83 × 1026 watts of power in the form of light. In comparison, an incandescent lamp emits 60 to 100 watts of power. The temperature of the outer, visible part of the Sun is 5510° C (9950° F).

What is the average distance of the earth from the sun?
