In Hanuman Chalisa, it is said :
"Yug sahasra yojan par Bhanu|
Leelyo taahi madhu phal janu||"
1 Yug = 12000 years
1 Sahasra = 1000
1 Yojan = 8 Miles
Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu
12000 x 1000 x 8 miles
1 mile = 1.6kms
96000000 miles = 96000000 x 1.6kms =
1536000000 kms to Sun
NASA has said that, it is the exact distance between Earth and Sun (Bhanu).
Which proves Hanuman ji did jump to Planet Sun, thinking it as a sweet fruit (Madhu phal)..
It is really interesting how accurate and meaningful our ancient scriptures are...

युग सहस्र योजन पर भानू । लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू ॥
Yuga Sahasra Yojana Para Bhaanuu | Liilyo Taahi Madhura Phala Jaanuu ||
Meaning: The Sun which was at a distance of 96 million miles , You Swallowed It (the Sun) thinking it to be a Sweet Fruit.
Expanded meaning:
1 Yuga = 12000 years
1 Sahasra = 1000
1 Yojana = 8 Miles
Yug x Sahastra x Yojan = par Bhanu
12000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96000000 miles
1 mile = 1.6kms
96000000 miles = 96000000 x 1.6kms = 1536000000 kms to Sun
According to NASA, it is the exact distance between Earth and Sun (Bhanu is another name of Sun).
This proves that Maharishi Tulsidas, the author of Hanuman Chalisa knew the exact distance between Earth and Sun, and Hanumanji did jump from Earth till Sun, thinking it as a sweet fruit (madhur = sweet phal = fruit).
