minus-squaretal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agohttps://www.amazon.com/White-Corrugated-Paper-Sheet-Pack/dp/B08D2GT19P A 10 pack of “20 x 30 x 0.16 inches;” cardboard weighs “6.4 Pounds”. 10x30x10 is 6,000 square inches, or ~3.87 square meters. 6.4 lbs is 2.9 kg. So figure ~0.75 kg per square meter of corrugated cardboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Its diameter is about 1,391,400 km (864,600 mi), 109 times that of Earth. Area is r² times pi. $ maxima (%i1) float((1391400*1000/2)^2*%pi); (%o1) 1.520526100532553E18 So that’s a mass of about 1.5 x 10¹⁸ kg for the cardboard cutout. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth Mass: 5.972168×10²⁴ kg Earth has about four million times as much mass, so the Sun cutout would have about a quarter-millionth Earth’s gravitational pull.
