SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun lies at the heart of the solar system, where it is by far the largest object. It holds 99.8% of the solar system’s mass and is roughly 109 times the diameter of the Earth-about one million Earths could fit inside the sun.

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 Sun has a diameter of about 1, 392, 000 km ( 865, 000 miles). Earth’s diameter is 12, 742 km (7, 917.5 miles). The diameter of the Sun is thus 109 times as great as the Earth’s diameter. In other words, you could line up 109 Earths across the face of the Sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest star ever discovered is UY Scuti, which boasts a diameter 1, 708 times that of the Sun. This massive size means that UY Scuti could hold the volume of 6 quadrillion 489 trillion Earths.

Detailed explanation-5: -Astronomers use the distance between Earth and sun, which is 93 million miles, as a new unit of measure called the Astronomical Unit. It is defined to be exactly 1.00 for the Earth-Sun orbit distance, and we call this distance 1.00 AUs.
