If you are going to write stupid jokes about farts, please check your science first. Otherwise you would look like an idiot. Earth's diameter is about 12800 km and so about 50-100 Earths or so would fit between the Sun and the prominence next to each other.
P.S. The fact that NASA's APOTD writer fucked up and oversimplified it does not exempt you from responsibility for what you write.
