Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun contains 99.85% of all the matter in the Solar System. The planets, which condensed out of the same disk of material that formed the Sun, contain only 0.135% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter contains more than twice the matter of all the other planets combined.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun is a yellow dwarf star at the center of our solar system. 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.
