The diameter of one celestial body is about fifteen times the diameter of a similarly proportioned celestial body. How does the surface-area-to-volume ratio of the larger body compare to that of the smaller body? The body's surface-area-to-volume ratio is times as great as the body's. (Type a whole number.)

The apparent size of an object in the sky is proportional to its actual diameter divided by its distance. The Moon has a radius of $1,737 \mathrm{km},$ with an average distance of $3.780 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{km}$ from Earth. The Sun has a radius of $696,000 \mathrm{km},$ with an average distance of $1.496 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{km}$ from Earth. Show that the apparent sizes of the Moon and Sun in our sky are approximately the same.
A cross staff of 1 cm notch is used to find the diameter of a celestial object at a distance of 23 x 108 m away from earth. Find the diameter of the object if the distance between eye and the cross staff is 19 cm. Round off the answer to two decimal places and write in the scientific representation.
