Considered as a sphere, the sun has an apparent diameter of 32'. Due to Earth movement around sun's elliptic orbit, this value is varying from 31' 31" on July 1st up to 32' 35" on January 1st. The average radius recognized by international committees is 695 500 km which give an average diameter of 1 391 000 km (869 375 miles).
  Distance from the Earth is 149 598 845 km (93 499 208 miles).
   
  From the Siva Purana, one can read (UMASAMHITA - Chapter 19, 2-3) that "The sun's sphere is situated a hundred thousand Yojanas from the earth. One Yojana being equal to 7.56 km (4.95 miles), it makes 756 000 km (495 000 miles)
   
  ...again missing some clues to read properly the old texts.

  Just wondering a bit about this. You mention that the sun is 864,000 miles 
in diameter, and that value was known to them in ancient times. But the 
"mile" value has not been in existance for more than a couple hundred years, 
has it? How could the ancients have measured in "miles" and held the value 
of 864,000 "miles" in such high regard?
