Right, that's what NASA, Google, Schools, et al tells us, but how could the lens of their telescope have enabled us to measure the size, or the distance of an object that is supposedly 93 Million miles away?

How do they know it's not 91 Million miles? Or just 1 Million miles?

I can fill the viewfinder of my camera by zooming in on a stop sign a mile away too, but that doesn't tell me its size, or its distance.

So, how do you know the size and distance of the sun? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I really don't know. Did they bounce a radio signal off of it, or shoot a laser at it or something? I mean I suppose that would give you the distance if that was possible.

@kencode: Right, that's | Ecency
