This is true. In fact, the Sun contains 99.5% of all the mass in the solar system, and Jupiter is more than half of the rest.
Earth, Mars, Saturn, all the asteroids, and all the other "minor bodies" such as comets all added together make up less then one quarter of one percent of the total mass of the solar system.

What is lagest planet in solar system?
In our solar system, the planet Jupiter is the largest - at over 1,300 times the volume of Earth (and over 300 times the mass).
Where is the majority mass in the solar system?
99% of all the mass in the Solar System is the Sun.
Why is most of the mass of the solar system contained in the sun?
Most of the mass of the solar system is contained in the sun because the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun makes 99 percent of the mass in the solar system.
How much of your solar system mass is made by the sun?
The Sun has about 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
What is the largest body in solar system?
The largest body in the Solar System is of course the Sun. If we are not including the Sun than Jupiter would be by far the largest body in our Solar System. Jupiter has a diameter roughly 11 times that of Earth but has a mass less than one thousandth that of the sun.
Is the sun most mass in the solar system?
Yes; the Sun has over 99% of all the mass of the Solar System.
What is lagest planet in solar system?
In our solar system, the planet Jupiter is the largest - at over 1,300 times the volume of Earth (and over 300 times the mass).
Which is the heaviest planet in your solar system?
Jupiter, with a mass 318 times that of the Earth.
Where is the majority mass in the solar system?
99% of all the mass in the Solar System is the Sun.
Why is most of the mass of the solar system contained in the sun?
Most of the mass of the solar system is contained in the sun because the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun makes 99 percent of the mass in the solar system.
Why is the gravitational force of the sun the strongest in the solar system?
That is because the Sun has the greatest mass in the Solar System - about 1000 times more mass than the second most massive object (Jupiter).
Which planet in the solar system has a mass 300 times greater than earth?
JUPITER
How much percent of mass the sun have in the solar system?
The mass of the sun is about 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system.
