About these units
Mina (Biblical Hebrew) (mina)
A mina was a mid-sized Hebrew weight unit, commonly approximated as 560–600 grams, though it varied historically. It served as the intermediary unit between the shekel and the talent: 1 talent = 60 minas 1 mina = 50 shekels Minas were used in both commercial trade and temple accounting. They appear in ancient Near Eastern texts describing wages, penalties, and allocations of precious materials. Because of their role in administrative and religious contexts, the mina highlights the bureaucratic sophistication of ancient Israel and surrounding cultures.
Sun's Mass (M☉)
The Sun's mass, approximately 1.9885 × 10³⁰ kilograms, dominates the solar system, comprising 99.86% of all its mass. Solar mass controls planetary orbits, defines the structure of the heliosphere, and fuels stellar fusion reactions that sustain life on Earth. Astronomers use the solar mass as a comparative unit for other stars, star clusters, and black holes, making it one of the most important astronomical constants.
