Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun weighs about 333, 000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1, 300, 000 planet Earths can fit inside of it.
Detailed explanation-2: -About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the sun, according to NASA’s statistics (opens in new tab). The mass of the sun is 1.989 x 1030 kilograms, about 333, 000 times the mass of the Earth. The sun contains 99.8 percent of the mass of the entire solar system, leading astronomers Imke de Pater and Jack J.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mass of Venus is equivalent to 0.9 Earth masses, or 90% of our Earth’s mass. When comparing Venus to the Sun, it starts to shrink drastically, as you could fit 1.5 million Venus-sized planets inside the Sun, if it were hallowed. Now let’s talk about Mars.
Detailed explanation-4: -Using Earth’s mean radius of 6, 371 km (3, 958.8 mi), Earth has a volume of 1.08 trillion km3 (259 million cubic mi). Therefore, to find out how many Earths fit inside Jupiter, we divide the volume of Jupiter by the volume of Earth to get 1, 299. So, we could fit almost 1300 Earths inside Jupiter.
