If i make a planet thats 2.37525 x 10^5 in dimeter and is 90,000,000 how far is it from the sun?

To calculate the distance between a planet and the sun, you need to provide the planet's orbital radius, not its diameter. However, assuming you meant the planet's orbital radius is 90,000,000 km, we can proceed with the calculation.

The distance between a planet and the sun is given by the equation:

Distance = Orbital Radius + Planet's Radius

Given:
Orbital Radius = 90,000,000 km
Planet's Radius = (2.37525 x 10^5 km) / 2 (since the radius is half the diameter)

Plug in the values:
Planet's Radius = (2.37525 x 10^5 km) / 2 = 1.187625 x 10^5 km

Distance = 90,000,000 km + 1.187625 x 10^5 km
Distance = 90,118,762.5 km

Therefore, the planet is approximately 90,118,762.5 km away from the sun.
