To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- You have that the distance from Earth to the sun is about [tex] 1.49x10^{11} [/tex]meters and the distance from Earth to the moon is about [tex] 3.84x10^{8}
[/tex] meters.

2. Then, to solve the exercise you must divide the distance from Earth to the sun by the distance from Earth to the moon, as following:

[tex] =\frac{1.49x10^{11}meters}{3.84x10^{8}meters} =388meters [/tex]

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: The distance from Earth to the sun is [tex] 388 [/tex] times larger than the distance from Earth to the moon.
