28 cm

To find the diameter of a circle when given the circumference, you can use the formula:

circumference = π * diameter

Substitute the given values:

87.92 cm = 3.14 * diameter

Solve for diameter:

diameter = 87.92 cm / 3.14
diameter ≈ 28 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the circle-shaped part of the sun is 28 cm.
