When the solar system formed the vast majority of the mass fell right to the center and formed the sun. Less than 1% of the remaining mass formed a disk of gas and dust around the sun. Most of the mass of the disk was hydrogen and helium, which was blown out of the inner solar system by the solar wind. Most of the material left behind was rock and iron dust, which formed the four innermost planets and the asteroid belt. The greatest portion of the rock and metal went into forming Earth, though that still represented only a tiny portion of the mass of the original disk. Most of the matter in the disk around the sun went in to forming Jupiter.

The sun is how many times larger than the radius of earth?
109
What is the true mass of the sun?
1.99 x 1030 kg, or 330,000 times the mass of Earth.
Is Jupiter 318 times larger than the sun?
No, Jupiter is only about 1/1000 the mass of the sun. It is 318 times the mass of the Earth though.
Is the center of mass between Earth and the sun exactly half way between the two?
Yes, the center of mass for the earth-sun orbit lies inside the sun. This is the barycenter, by the way. And because the sun is so massive relative to earth, the barycenter of earth's orbit about our local star is not that far from the center of the sun and is actually inside of it.
How many times greater is the sun diameter than the diameter of earth?
500
Is the sun mass bigger mass than earth mass?
Yes. The mass of the sun is about 333,000 times that of Earth.
The sun is how many times larger than the radius of earth?

What is the size or mass of the sun?
Sun mass = 1.989 * 1030 kilograms. > Approximately 333,000 times the mass of earth.
What is the true mass of the sun?
1.99 x 1030 kg, or 330,000 times the mass of Earth.
Is sun bigger than earth?
Yes. The Sun has about 109 times the Earth's diameter, over a million times its volume, and 333,000 times its mass.
How big is Pollux compared to the Sun?

Which is bigger in size earth or sun?
The Sun has 109 times the size of the earth. It has 1,300,000 times the volume of the earth And 332,900 times earthes mass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
What does it mean when it says more than 1 million to sit inside the sun but the some mass is only about 300000 times the mass of how is that possible?
The sun's mass is about 333,000 or about one third of a million times that of Earth, but the sun's volume is about 1.3 million times that of Earth. In other words, the sun is less dense than Earth. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object, not its size.
How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?
The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.
Is Jupiter 318 times larger than the sun?
No, Jupiter is only about 1/1000 the mass of the sun. It is 318 times the mass of the Earth though.
How heavy is the sun compared to the earth?
The Sun has a mass of 1.9891×10^30 kg. The Earth has a mass of 5.9736 x 10^24 kg. So the Sun is about 332,900 times heavier than the Earth.
What is sun mass?
The Suns mass is 1.9891 × 1030 kg or about 333,000 times that of Earth. The Sun contains about 99% of the total mass of the Solar System.
