Diameter of the Sun = 1,393,000 km

Circumference of the smallest Solar System planet, Mercury =15,300 km Diameter of the smallest Solar System planet, Mercury =4,900 km

Circumference of the largest Solar System planet, Jupiter =439,264 km Diameter of the largest Solar System planet, Jupiter =139,822 km

Evaluate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of these3 celestial bodies. In other words divide the circumference by thediameter for each:

Circumference of the Sun/ Diameter of the Sun= 4,379,000 km/ 1,393,000 km =

Circumference of the Mercury/ Diameter of the Mercury=15,329 km/ 4,878 km=

Circumference of Jupiter/ Diameter of Jupiter= 439,264 km/139, 822 km=

These are 3 very different celestial bodies: Mercury, Jupiter,and the Sun. Yet, how do their Circumference-to-Diameter ratioscompare?
Are they similar or different?
Is this a coincidence?
