  • Mars vs. the Sun: A Size and Mass Comparison
    Mars is tiny compared to the Sun. Here's a breakdown:

    * Diameter: The Sun's diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers. Mars's diameter is about 6,779 kilometers. This means the Sun is over 100 times wider than Mars.

    * Mass: The Sun is about 333,000 times more massive than Mars.

    Think of it this way: If you were to shrink the Sun down to the size of a basketball, Mars would be about the size of a marble.
