Does the sun contain 99 percent of the mass in the solar system?

Answer 1

The mass of Sun makes up around 99.854% of the solar systems total mass. The mass of all eight planets = 0.1340% of the total solar system mass.

For each of the planets, their % contribution to the solar systems total mass is (approximately);

Jupiter = 0.0954%

Saturn = 0.0286%

Neptune = 0.00512%

Uranus = 0.00436%

Earth = 0.00030%

Venus = 0.00024%

Mars = 0.00003%

Mercury = 0.00002%

Mass of everything else (Moons, Dwarf planets, comets etc..) = 0.0116%

Answer 2

Yes, the sun contains around 99.8% of the total mass of our solar system. Its immense size and gravitational pull make it by far the most massive object in our solar system, exceeding the combined mass of all the planets, moons, asteroids, and other celestial bodies orbiting it.

Answer 3

The Sun contains about 99.5% of the solar system's total mass.

Jupiter alone accounts for more than half the remainder.

Answer 4

Yes it does. And also, did you know the sun is only a medium sized star?

Answer 5
