The sun is 1.4 million kilometres in diameter, and it is surprisingly hard to throw something into it.
The more important question is how much of our night sky the moon takes up, and the answer is only 0.5 degrees.

Third pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder
