The mass of Sun makes up around 99.854% of the solar systems total mass. The mass of all eight planets = 0.1340% of the total solar system mass.
For each of the planets, their % contribution to the solar systems total mass is (approximately);
Jupiter = 0.0954%
Saturn = 0.0286%
Neptune = 0.00512%
Uranus = 0.00436%
Earth = 0.00030%
Venus = 0.00024%
Mars = 0.00003%
Mercury = 0.00002%
Mass of everything else (Moons, Dwarf planets, comets etc..) = 0.0116%

∙ 14y agoThe Sun contains about 99.5% of the solar system's total mass.
Jupiter alone accounts for more than half the remainder.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes it does. And also, did you know the sun is only a medium sized star?

How much percent of mass the sun have in the solar system?
The mass of the sun is about 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system.
What makes up 98 percent of your solar system?
About 98 percent of the mass of the solar system is in the Sun.
What objects make up 97 percent of the solar system mass?
the sun which takes up 98% of the solar system mass
When the solar system was created planets were formed from the ten percent of matter left over from a nebula?
No. The planets make up about a tenth of a percent of the mass of the solar system. Not ten percent. Ten percent of the sun's mass would be enough to make a red dwarf star.
Is Jupiter less than 8 percent of the sun's mass?
FAR less. Of all the mass in the solar system, the Sun is 99.5% of it. All the rest - Jupiter included - is one half of one percent of the solar system's mass.
How much percent of mass the sun have in the solar system?
The mass of the sun is about 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system.
What makes up 98 percent of your solar system?
About 98 percent of the mass of the solar system is in the Sun.
Why is most of the mass of the solar system contained in the sun?
Most of the mass of the solar system is contained in the sun because the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun makes 99 percent of the mass in the solar system.
What objects make up 97 percent of the solar system mass?
the sun which takes up 98% of the solar system mass
Which body accounts for more than 99 percent of the mass of the solar system?
The sun contains over 99% of the mass of the solar system. The numbers reveal that the sun actually contains over 99.8% of the mass of the solar system.
Which solar system objects contain the most mass?
The sun, followed by Jupiter.
When the solar system was created planets were formed from the ten percent of matter left over from a nebula?
No. The planets make up about a tenth of a percent of the mass of the solar system. Not ten percent. Ten percent of the sun's mass would be enough to make a red dwarf star.
Is Jupiter less than 8 percent of the sun's mass?
FAR less. Of all the mass in the solar system, the Sun is 99.5% of it. All the rest - Jupiter included - is one half of one percent of the solar system's mass.
Where is most of the mass of our solar system located?
Most of the mass of the solar system is concentrated in the center, within the Sun. If you added up all the other mass, it would only be about 2 percent as massive.
What would be the percent of helium gas to make up solar system?
Given that the Sun has 99+ percent of the mass of the Solar System, the percentage of helium in the Solar System is basically the percentage of helium in the Sun. That's about 25%.
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%
How much of the planetary mass of the solar system does Saturn contain?
It's just over 21%.
