How heavy is the sun compared to the earth?
The sun is much heavier than the Earth. The sun's mass is about 333,000 times that of Earth, making it about 1.989 x 10^30 kilograms, while Earth's mass is about 5.972 x 10^24 kilograms.
Is the moon lighter or heavier then the sun?
The moon is much lighter than the sun. The sun's mass is about 330,000 times greater than the mass of the Earth's moon.
Is the moon and the earth the same weight?
no, the Earth is many times heavier
Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
Over time, the fusion reactions can form as the reactions that form nuclei of slightly heavier elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Thank you = )
What are the similarities between earth and the sun?
Both the Earth and Sun are roughly spherical and rotate on an axis. Both have satellite bodies and revolve around a larger mass (Earth around the Sun in the solar system, the Sun as part of the Milky Way Galaxy). Both have mass that imparts gravity. Although the Earth has a higher percentage of heavier atoms (iron, aluminum, oxygen) compared to the Sun (mostly hydrogen, some helium) both contain at least some of the same chemical elements. Each is also hotter at its core than its surface.
Is the earth heavier than the sun?
No, the Sun is much heavier than the Earth. The Sun's mass is about 333,000 times greater than the Earth's mass.
Why is the Sun heavier than Earth?
You would weigh more on the Sun because it is a greater mass, and it has a greater gravitational pull than the Earth. In retrospect, you would weigh less on the moon, since it is smaller and less gravitational pull.

How is the earth different from the sun?
* The Sun has more mass (about 330,000 as much).* The Sun contains mainly hydrogen and helium. Earth contains mainly heavier elements. * The Sun has enough temperature and pressure to sustain nuclear fusion.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
Is the moon heavier?
Heavier than what, the sun????
Would you be heavier on Pluto or earth?
You would be much heavier on earth- about 12 times heavier.
What is the heaviest object?
Our Sun is quite heavy.It weighs 1.9891×1030 kgThat is 332,900 times heavier than the Earth.
What creates rain?
The moisture from the Earth evaporates into the clouds. Then the moisture gets heavier and condenses into rain. When it gets heavier, it falls from the clouds down to Earth. Then, the sun and heat re-evaporates the moisture left, thus restarting the cycle. Just Google "the rain cycle."
Can the sun orbit the earth?
No. When one body is much more massive than the other, the lighter body (earth) orbits the heavier body (sun). Greater mass wins. The sun's mass is about 2 x 1030 kg. The earth's mass is about 6 x 1024 kg. Therefore the sun is about 300,000 times as massive as earth. Technically, it's most correct to say that both the Sun and the Earth orbit their common center of mass, but because the Sun is so much more massive than the Earth, the common center of mass is a point that's still within the Sun.
Were does Superman get his strength?
Superman gets his strength from the Earth's sun, his Kryptonian skin cells act as solar panels and charge up strength from the sun, during the night he uses his stored energy within these cells.
Why does your sun have 2 percent heavier elements and from where do they come?
I think it's our Sun which gets heavier elements from fusion of hydrogen and other light elements.Edit: Our Sun does create helium from hydrogen by fusion, but that's all. The reason it has heavier elements is that these come from the nebula that formed the Sun. The heavier elements are thought to have come from stars that exploded as "supernovas", a long time ago.
