Our yellow dwarf (the Sun) is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth, has a mass of about 330,000 times that of the Earth, and accounts for for about 99.86% of the total mass of the entire Solar System.

So it's really, really big and has a strong gravitational hold.

Scientists now believe that the Sun is brighter than about 85% of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

Most of the angular momentum of the solar system is found in the?

The majority of the angular momentum of the solar system is found within the orbital motion of the planets around the Sun. This motion results in the spinning of the planets on their axes and the overall rotation of the solar system as a whole.


Do the planets in the solar system move according to the strict physical laws?

Yes, the planets in the solar system move according to strict physical laws, specifically Newton's laws of motion and gravitational force. These laws govern the motion and interactions of all objects in the universe, including planets orbiting around the sun.


Which of the following is the best reference point to describe the motion of the planets in our solar system A a space ship in orbit about earth B the centre of the Milky Way C earth D the sun?

D. The sun. All planets in our solar system orbit the sun thus it is the best reference when describing the motion of the planets within that solar system.


What makes the planets and moons in the solar system move?

Gravitational forces combined with the motion of the planet or moon originating from the formation of the solar system.
