If you take a minute to learn R" Tzvi Cohen's Birchas Hachamah Sefer, you'll see that this is a matter of great dispute among the Rishonim as well as Achromin.
Its well worth a read.
If you watch the video @ 11:52 he says that the sun is 109 times larger than the earth.
According to the Rambam in Hilchos Yesodei Hatorah 3.8, he states that sun is approx. 170 times larger than the earth. And the Alter Rebbe writes in Tanya (Sha'ar Hyichud Vhaemunah Perk 7 pg. 167) that the sun is about 167 times larger than the earth.
This entire video is not in position with most rishonim and acharonim!!
According to them the sun revolves around the earth!
And Albert Einstein doesn't disagree! Einstein says it is relative, and either description is correct.
