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: -The sun dominates the gravitational field of the solar system; it contains about 99.85% of the solar system’s mass. The planets, which condensed out of the same disk of material that formed the sun, contain only about 0.135% of the mass of the solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun is the Solar System’s star and by far its most massive component. Its large mass (332, 900 Earth masses), which comprises 99.86% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.

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.
