How Massive is The Sun_
Close your eyes and let your mind expand to a scale almost beyond imagining. The Sun is 109 times wider than Earth, with a diameter of 1.39 million kilometers. It contains 99.8% of all the mass in the Solar System, enough to hold 1.3 million Earths inside it. Yet despite its immense size, the Sun is only a medium-sized star. In the vast cosmos, stars like VY Canis Majoris are 2,000 times larger. Let your thoughts drift into the quiet wonder of the universe, and let the gentle enormity of our star carry you into a deep, peaceful sleep.
