Diameter os UY scuti: 2.377 billion km

Diameter of sun: 1.393 million km

Ratio: 1706:1

Diameter of hydrogen atom: 6.479 x 10^-14 nautical miles.

Diameter of scaled UY scuti: 17.23 micro meters. About one third the width of a sheet of paper

In football pitches please

quickly googling. UY Scuti, if placed in our solar system would be be larger than the orbit of Jupiter.

scaling it down to a better example. if the sun was a regulation basketball, UY scuti would roughly be a quarter of a mile in diameter.

Not sure where to start with the wrongness here. In answer to OP, the size of a molecule. Ask a vague question...

Really? I’m surprised it’s that big. I knew UY Scuti was several times larger than the sun, but if an atom is that small… Neat!

I worked it out to 84nm (diameter of H ~ 50×10^-12 m, multiplied by 1708), about the thickness of a bacterial flagellum. Much smaller than this commenter's result. I suspect something went wrong with their odd choice of units.

(I actually used 10 nm for width of Hydrogen, much larger than your unit)

My math is laid out right there. Feel free to check it

Ah. Alright, that makes much more sense. I assumed it would’ve more likely be somewhere around the size of a small bacterium or virus.

Ok that’s just blatant misinformation.

Thats what google report when you search "diameter of hydrogen atom in nanometers"

edit: but googles an idiot
