How Many Earths Fit in the Sun?

The Sun is so big that about 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it. That’s not a typo.

And the Sun doesn’t just win in size—it dominates in power. It holds 99.8% of all the mass in our entire solar system. That means if the solar system were a pie, the Sun would be almost the whole thing, with just a few crumbs left over for the planets.

Need more wild facts? The Sun’s core reaches about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. That’s hot enough to melt everything on Earth many times over—and then melt the melted bits!
