About these units
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.
Earth's Mass (M⊕)
Earth's mass is approximately 5.972 × 10²⁴ kilograms, a fundamental parameter in planetary science and orbital mechanics. It governs Earth's gravitational interaction with the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites and shapes geological processes such as plate tectonics and atmospheric retention. Planetary scientists use Earth masses to compare exoplanets, enabling quick insights into habitability, composition, and gravitational characteristics.
