How big is the sun compared to the other planets?

In terms of mass, the sun makes up for 99.84% of the entire mass in the solar system: planets, belts, dwarfs and all. ...

Because they are close together to the sun, compared to the other planets in the solar system. ...

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,...

Mercury is the innermost planet closest to the sun

The Big Bang didn't directly create the Earth, a supernova created it, the sun, and the other planets. ...

Because it has planets orbiting it (such as Earth, Jupiter and Mars)

yes the sun is a star but compared to other stars its medium in size.

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. ...

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....

It ia 250 times as big as the sun

yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.

No because the sun is a big ball of gas which is called a star.

becasue it is near to the sun compared to the outter planets

The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just 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) ...

No. Solar flares are a characteristic of the Sun and other stars, not of planets. No. Solar flares are a characteristic of the Sun and other stars, not of planets. No. Solar flares are a characteristic of the Sun and other stars, not of planets. No. Solar flares are a characteristic of the Sun and other stars, not of planets. ...

The compared orbital speed of planets increases as they get closer to the Sun, due to the greater gravitational pull. ...

The Sun formed first, so it is the youngest compared to the planets.

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. ...

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...

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.

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. ...

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? ...

what is unusual about the sun compared to many other stars ?????#

If you mean in a year, then it's because it takes different times to circle the sun then planet earth (because they are more far away or closer). ...
