Compared to Earth, the Sun is in a league of its own. It contains 99.86% of all the mass in the solar system, making everything else – planets, moons, asteroids – just tiny leftovers. Spanning 864,400 miles (1,391,000 km) across, it’s about 109 times the diameter of Earth and weighs 333,000 times as much.
If you were to stack Earths inside the Sun, you’d need about 1.3 million of them to fill its volume. To put that into perspective, our entire
planet is roughly the size of an average sunspot – just a temporary blemish on the Sun’s constantly shifting surface.
Its sheer size is what allows it to dominate the Solar System, holding everything in orbit and providing the energy that makes life possible. Without it, we wouldn’t be here.binod kumar simkhada
