What is the greatest percentage in the composition of the sun?

Answer 1

Okay. The answer the other person provided is very, very inaccurate. 99.3% of our Solar System is taken up by the Sun. The other 0.7% is taken up mostly by empty space, planets, asteroids, and comets.

Answer 2

The Sun, which appears to be so enormously huge and significant to us, is in reality a fairly average star. Compared to really big stars that have a hundred times the Suns mass and a thousand times the Suns volume, or to black holes which may contain SEVERAL BILLION times the Sun's mass, the mass of the Sun is like a drop in the ocean.

Answer 3

The sun, like most other stars, is made up mostly of atoms of the chemical element hydrogen. The second most plentiful element in the sun is helium, and almost all the remaining matter consists of atoms of seven other elements. For every 1 million atoms of hydrogen in the entire sun, there are 98,000 atoms of helium, 850 of oxygen, 360 of carbon, 120 of neon, 110 of nitrogen, 40 of magnesium, 35 of iron, and 35 of silicon. So about 94 percent of the atoms are hydrogen, and 0.1 percent are elements other than hydrogen and helium.

Answer 4

About 99.4% of all the mass in the Solar System is the Sun. All the rest, including Jupiter, Earth, all the other planets, all the asteroids, comets and meteors, all together are about 0.6% of the mass of the solar system.

Answer 5

Of all the mass of the solar system, including the Sun, all the planets, moons, asteroids, comets, space rocks and everything, the Sun is about 99.5% of it.

Of the remaining 0.5%, about half is the planet Jupiter.

Answer 6

The sun contains about 1000x time mass of the rest of our solar system combined. This means approximately 99.9% of the mass of the solar system is contained within the sun.

Answer 7

The solar system is not space , it is a number of the planets rotating around the Sun including The Sun

Answer 8

The Sun accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.

Answer 9

All of the objects and material gravitationally bound to the sun, regardless of

their distance from it, comprise 100% of the solar system.

Answer 10

More than 50%
