The Sun Accounts for 99.86% of the Solar System's Mass

Our Sun is so massive that it contains 99.86% of all the mass in the entire solar system, with Jupiter accounting for most of the rest.

About this fact

The Sun's immense gravity is what holds the solar system together. All the planets, asteroids, comets, and dust combined make up only 0.14% of the solar system's total mass. Jupiter, the largest planet, contains more than twice the mass of all other planets combined, yet it's still tiny compared to the Sun.
