SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun not only has a much larger radius than Earth-it is also much more massive. The sun’s mass is more than 333, 000 times that of Earth, and contains about 99.8 percent of all of the mass in the entire solar system! The sun is made up of a blazing combination of gases. These gases are actually in the form of plasma.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the nebula collapsed under its own gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. Most of the nebula’s material was pulled toward the center to form our Sun, which accounts for 99.8% of our solar system’s mass. Much of the remaining material formed the planets and other objects that now orbit the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -A star, which is called the sun, formed. The sun is composed of about 99% of all the matter that was contained in the solar nebula.

Detailed explanation-4: -By far most of the solar system’s mass is in the Sun itself: somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent. The rest is split between the planets and their satellites, and the comets and asteroids and the dust and gas surrounding our star.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earth and all other objects in our solar system orbit around the Sun due to gravity – the Sun contains over 98% of all mass in the solar system and so exerts a strong gravitational pull.
