How big is the sun compared to the other planets in the solar system?
In terms of mass, the sun makes up for 99.84% of the entire mass in the solar system: planets, belts, dwarfs and all.
Why are the first four planets called inner planets?
Because they are close together to the sun, compared to the other planets in the solar system.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).
What position is mercury compared to the other planets?
Mercury is the innermost planet closest to the sun
What is unusual about the sun compared to other stars?
Because it has planets orbiting it (such as Earth, Jupiter and Mars)
If the big bang created earth what about all the other planets?
The Big Bang didn't directly create the Earth, a supernova created it, the sun, and the other planets.
Is the sun a big star?
yes the sun is a star but compared to other stars its medium in size.
Are the Sun and the Earth gaseous planets?
The Sun is not a planet. It is a star. The Earth has gas on it, but it is not gaseous compared to the planets defined as gaseous. So your answer would be no the Sun and the Earth are not gaseous planets.
How big is Uranus compared to to the sun?
Considering you can fit more than 100 earth's inside of the sun.Uranus is a little bit bigger than earth so maybe you could fit around a 70 to 80 planets the size of Uranus in the sun so its pretty big compared to the sun.
Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?
yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.
How big is Betelgeuse compared from the sun?
It ia 250 times as big as the sun
Is the sun the largest planet over all the other planets?
No because the sun is a big ball of gas which is called a star.
Why are the inner planets made of denser materials than the outer planets?
becasue it is near to the sun compared to the outter planets
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
Does the earth rotate like the other planets?
Yes the Earth does rotate like the other planets (except for the distance of the rotation(assuming your talking about the rotation around the Sun); the wobble of the Earths axis compared to other planets; and the time it takes to rotate)
Does Venus have solar flares?

What happens to the speed of a planets as you get closer to the sun?
The compared orbital speed of planets increases as they get closer to the Sun, due to the greater gravitational pull.
Is the sun the youngest in the solar system?
The Sun formed first, so it is the youngest compared to the planets.
How does the size of Earth compare with that of the sun?
Okay, so Earth is huge from our perspective. There are three other planets of "similar" size (mercury, venus, and mars) and four planets of much larger size (jupiter, saturn, uranus, and neptune). Jupiter and Saturn are by far the biggest, but Jupiter is larger. In fact, all of the other planets (including Earth) put together with Saturn are not as big as Jupiter. So how big is the sun compared to this? Let's add up the mass of all the planets - and add everything else in the solar system (apart from the sun) like dwarf planets and asteroids and such. All this accounts for 0.16% of the mass in the solar system, the rest is the sun.
What is bigger the sun or the stars?
Our sun is a star, but not very big when compared to bigger ones, but very big when compared to smaller ones and to the Earth.
Why is the solar system said to be almost an empty space?
The distances between planets, and between a planet and the Sun, are enormous, compared to the size of the planets and of the Sun. In between, there is empty space - a vacuum more perfect than what can be achieved in most laboratories.The distances between planets, and between a planet and the Sun, are enormous, compared to the size of the planets and of the Sun.

Why sun doesnt provide light to space other than 8 planets?
Mainly due to the distances involved. The planets are very close to our sun compared to other objects further out in other solar systems or galaxies. Light from our sun does go along way out, though becomes very feeble once you go out beyond the outermost planets in our solar system.
What is unusal about the sun compared to many other stars?
what is unusual about the sun compared to many other stars ?????#
Which is larger the moon or the sun?
The sun is larger. the earth is big compared to the moon and the earth is small compared to the sun. can you see the logic?
Why don't planets attract each other?
The gravitational pull of the sun is stronger than the other planets, resulting in the planets revolving around the sun instead of the planets attracting to each other.
