How many atoms are in the solar system?

Answer 1

The mass of the sun is approximately 1.99x1030 kg and the mass of a hydrogen atom, which the sun is mostly made up of, is approximately 1.67x10-27 kg.

So the simplest way to do this if you don't have a calculator is...

1.99/1.67= 1.19 and since it's division... 30 - (-27)= 57 Soooo there are approximately 1.19x1057 hydrogen atoms in the sun. Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Taking the Sun very simply as 75% H and 25% He places the atomic electron population at about 10^57. Likely as not the presence of other elements probably places the actual figure at least a factor of 10 higher and probably more. Perhaps we might just give a probable range of around 10^57 to 10^60.

Answer 4

It is estimated that there are approximately 10^57 atoms in the solar system. These atoms are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, along with other elements found in stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

Answer 5

about 1.19 x 10^57 atoms or 1.19 octodecillion (57 zero)

Answer 6

oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen

Answer 7

infinite...
