Did you know that if you wanted to leave the suns gravity, you would have to be going at a speed of about 1.4 million miles an hour?

There is about 1 Million Earths that is able to hold in the volume of the Sun. At least that is what they determine. Amazing isn't it.

Yes, you are correct and it is important to note that AC is not exactly 1 meter, it is ~ 1.00001 m. I was attempting to keep the demonstration as simple as possible so I avoided using the distance A to the midpoint of BC.
As the equipment is very basic and we are estimating the distance to the sun, rounding AC to 1 meter is appropriate.
