Where is most of the mass in the solar system and what effect does this have?
Most of the mass of the solar system is in the sun. As a consequence all objects in the solar system orbit the sun.
What objects make up 97 percent of the solar system mass?
the sun which takes up 98% of the solar system mass
What part of the solar system exerts a gravitational pull?
Everything with mass ... i.e. ALL the objects of the solar system.
What are the major objects in your solar system?
Roughly in order of decreasing size and mass, the objects in the Solar System are: the Sun; the planets; moons; dwarf planets; other planetoids; comets.
What solar system objects is most similar to Earth in terms of mass and density?
a. Mercuryb.Moonc.Venusd.Marse.Deimos
How the sun was formed at the center of the Solar System?
Well the Sun has the most mass in the entire solar system, so it would naturally be found in the center, with objects of lesser mass orbiting it.
Is the sun smaller than the solar system?
No. The sun is part of the solar system, so it cannot be bigger than it. The mass of the sun is much larger than the mass of the rest of the objects in the solar system put together, which may be what you are referring to.
Is the force of gravity the same everywhere in the solar system?
no. gravity acting on an object depends on the mass of each of the nearby objects. The solar system is not uniform in mass, so gravity is not uniform either.
What is the meaning of Solar orbit?
A solar orbit is the path a body takes around the sun.All objects in the solar system have a certain path they follow due to the mass they have, the mass of the sun and their distance from the sun.
Why does the sun have the most powerful force of gravity compared to all other objects in the solar system?
Because the sun has more mass than anything else in our solar system. Gravity is a function of mass.
How much of the planetary mass of the solar system does Jupiter contain?
By my own calculations Jupiter counts for around 0.097% of the mass of the Solar System. The Sun on the other hand accounts for about 99.86%. After the mass of the Sun you have 0.14% of the mass of the solar system to distribute among the planets. Of this Jupiter takes up almost 0.10%
Does the sun have more mass than any of the other objects in the solar system?
Yes. The Sun has over 99% of all the mass.
