  • Sun vs. Planets: Understanding Solar System Size
    Yes, the Sun is much bigger than all the planets in our solar system. In fact, the Sun makes up 99.86% of the total mass of the entire solar system!

    Here's a comparison:

    * The Sun's diameter: 1.39 million kilometers (865,000 miles)

    * Jupiter's diameter: 140,000 kilometers (87,000 miles)

    As you can see, the Sun is about 10 times wider than Jupiter, which is the largest planet in our solar system.
