How do you weigh Sun?
1.989 × 10^30 kg
Sun/Mass
How much does 1 teaspoon of the Sun weigh?
Consider the core of the sun, which is stated on Wikipedia to have temperature around 15.7 million K, density 150 g/cm3. A teaspoon is 5cm3, so 750g.
How do we know how much the Earth weighs?
Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (or 5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms). Since Earth is too big to be placed on a scale, scientists use mathematics and the laws of gravity to figure out Earth’s weight.
What is the total weight of the Sun?
Bulk parameters
| Sun | Ratio (Sun/Earth) | |
|---|---|---|
| Mass (1024 kg) | 1,988,500. | 333,000. |
| GM (x 106 km3/s2) | 132,712. | 333,000. |
| Volume (1012 km3) | 1,412,000. | 1,304,000. |
| Volumetric mean radius (km) | 695,700. | 109.2 |
How many times weight of earth is sun?
The Sun weighs about 333,000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it.
How dense are Neutronstars?
Neutron stars aren’t so much ‘heavy’ as ‘dense’: they are the smallest and densest kind of star known, with about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun (1.4 solar masses) crammed into a sphere no bigger than 10 kilometres across! This incredible density comes about because of how neutron stars form.
What’s the sun made of?
The sun is not a solid mass. It does not have easily identifiable boundaries like rocky planets like Earth. Instead, the sun is composed of layers made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.
What is the weight of a person on the Sun?
The weight of a 100 kg person on Earth is 100 N. This is because mass and weight are the same and do not change. On the Sun the person would weight 28 times more so you would multiply 100 N x 28 = 2, 800 N.
What would you weigh on the Sun?
If you could stand on the sun you would weigh approximately 27 times more than you do on Earth. For example, a 200-pound (90 kg) person would weigh 5,400 pounds (2,449 kg) on the sun! The sun is approximately halfway through its life.
What is the exact weight of the Sun?
The sun is estimated to weigh 4,385,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds (1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg). That’s beyond our brain’s comprehension. This means the sun is as heavy as 330,060 Earths!
What is the weight of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth?
Let’s also compare this person’s hypothetical weight on the Sun with their weight on the Moon too which being smaller than the Earth and lacking an iron core has a much weaker gravity. On the Earth: 110 lbs (50kg) On the Sun: 2,985 lbs (1,354 kg) On the Moon: 18 lbs (8.3 kg)
