SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun consists of over 99.8% of the Solar system ‘s mass. The sun consists of most of the material in the solar system. The major part of the remaining mass will be in the planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Where P is the Orbital Period, M is the mass of the planet and G is the gravitational constant.

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 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!

Detailed explanation-4: -As the star for nine planets, a multitude of asteroids, comets and other celestial objects, the Sun contains more than 99 percent of the entire mass in the solar system. For more information, visit NASA’s Sun Earth Connection site.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
