No one said it's a constant, the values are based on the mean distance between the Earth and the sun which is known as an astronomical unit and is equal to 93,000,000 miles, and the mean diameters of the Earth and the sun.
The mean diameter of the sun is 864,938 miles. Dividing the two values yields 108 when rounded to the nearest whole number.
The mean diameter of the Earth is 7917.5 miles. According to NASA the diameter of the sun is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth.
This took about 10 minutes of Googling and a few clicks on a calculator to determine. It appears the discrepancy is that the mean distance between the Earth and sun can fit 108 Earths, while the sun itself can fit 109 Earths. We are kind of splitting hairs at that point though with less that a 1% difference between the two.
Not splitting hairs. If you are going to rebut data with this kind of precision, then your rebuttal must be equally precise.
