The sun's is approximately 865,370 miles (8)

I believe the answer is:

diameter

(Other definitions for diameter that I've seen before include "Straight line across circle passing through its centre" , "Line crossing centre of sphere" , "Circle's width" , "Longest line in a circle" , "Line that crosses the centre of a circle" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
