How does the mass of the sun compare to the masses of the planets in the solar system?

Answer 1

Here is a good way to view it: Even if you added the masses of all the planets to the sun's mass, the sun would still account for 99.86% of the total. In a nutshell, the sun is about 1,000 times more massive than that of all the planets combined.

Answer 2

Earth`s mass is 5,973,700,000,000,000,000,000,000kg. Pluto`s mass is 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000kg. That makes Pluto equal to 0.0066 Earths or .66 % the size of the Earth. For a size comparison, Pluto is about one-fifth the size of our moon. See the related link for more information.

Answer 3

Here is a list of the largest objects in the Solar System and their mass in Earth masses:

The Sun - 332,946

Mercury - 0.055

Venus - 0.815

Earth - 1

Mars - 0.107

Jupiter - 318

Saturn - 95

Uranus - 14

Neptune - 17

As you can see the Sun consists the vast majority of the mass in the Solar System.

Answer 4

The mass of the Sun is significantly larger than the combined mass of all the planets in the solar system. The Sun contains about 99.8% of the total mass in the solar system, with Jupiter being the most massive planet after the Sun.

Answer 5

The Sun is approximately 146 million times as massive as Pluto. (1.9 x 1030 kg vs 1.3x1022 kg)

Answer 6

The mass of the Sun is (1.98855±0.00025)*1030 kg - that is 333,000 Earths

The mass of Uranus is (8.6810±0.0013)*1025 kg - that is 14.536 Earths

Answer 7

A trivial fraction. Of the total mass in the Solar System, the Sun is about 99.5% of the total, and most of the rest is Jupiter.

Saturn is approximately 0.02% of the Sun's mass.

Answer 8

Compared to Pluto, the Sun is a hot star and Pluto is a cold dwarf planet.

Answer 9

it is 1/455 of Earth's mass
