How many planets could fit in the Sun?

How many planets could fit in the Sun?

“It holds 99.8% of the solar system’s mass and is roughly 109 times the diameter of the Earth — about one million Earths could fit inside the sun.”

How many Saturn’s can fit inside the Sun?

“Saturn has a diameter of approximately 120.536 km / 74.897 mi and a radius of around 58.232 km / 36.183 mi. It is quite massive as well, having the equivalent of 95.16 Earth masses. It would take more than 1,700 Saturn-sized planets to fill the Sun.”

Can the Sun fit inside Jupiter?

“Absolutely zero suns could fit inside jupiter, as the sun is hundreds of times bigger than jupiter, it would be impossible to have even one fit in jupiter.”

How many times can all 8 planets fit in the Sun?

“You could fit nearly one million Earth-sized planets and the sun isn’t even that big of a star.”

What is bigger than sun?

“Jupiter’s mass is nearly times that of the Sun. Sirius, Pollux, Alpha Centauri A, UY Scuti etc. are some examples of stars bigger than the sun.”

Can a planet have 2 suns?

“Some worlds have more than one sun in their sky. Now scientists say they’ve confirmed the existence of the largest-ever planet orbiting a pair of binary stars – a gas giant with the same mass and radius as Jupiter.”

How many Plutos could fit in Earth?

“154 Plutos can fit in Earth. Earth has a radius of 6,371 kilometers and Pluto has a radius of 1,188.5 kilometers.”

Can we land on Venus?

“Yes, several landers from the former Soviet Union have landed on Venus. They were only able to send us information for a short time because the extremely high temperature and pressure on the surface of Venus melted and crushed the landers.”

How big is the biggest Sun?

“The largest known star in the universe, UY Scuti is a variable hypergiant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the radius of the sun. To put that in perspective, the volume of almost 5 billion suns could fit inside a sphere the size of UY Scuti.”

Could Jupiter become a star?

“Jupiter, while more massive than any other planet in our solar system, is still far too underweight to fuse hydrogen into helium. The planet would need to weigh 13 times its current mass to become a brown dwarf, and about 83 to 85 times its mass to become a low-mass star.”

Is it hot inside Jupiter?

“It’s really hot inside Jupiter! No one knows exactly how hot, but scientists think it could be about 43,000°F (24,000°C) near Jupiter’s center, or core. Jupiter is made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.”

Is Jupiter hot inside?

“Jupiter’s rocky core lies well below the “surface” and is very hot (around 36,000 degrees F.) due to gravitational compression (compression is a heating process). But Jupiter is much too small and cool to ignite nuclear fusion reactions which are required to become a star.”

Is there a planet with 7 suns?

“It is home to the fourth of the first five planets that Kepler discovered; this planet, a Jupiter-size gas giant named Kepler-7b, is as light as styrofoam. The star itself is more massive than the Sun, and is nearly twice the Sun’s radius….Kepler-7.”

Can a planet have 4 suns?

“The planet is named Tatooine. In another classic case of science fiction turning into science fact, astronomers found a planet circling not two, but four stars. The most amazing aspect of this find? The planet was discovered by two “armchair” astronomers!”

Can a planet have 3 suns?

Part of a video titled Astronomers Found a Planet With 3 Suns - YouTube

What’s hotter than a sun?

“And the answer: lightning. According to NASA, lightning is four times hotter than the surface of the sun. The air around a stroke of lightning can peak at 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the surface of the sun is around 11,000 degrees.”

What is bigger than universe?

“No, the universe contains all solar systems, and galaxies. Our Sun is just one star among the hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy, and the universe is made up of all the galaxies – billions of them.”

Is Jupiter a failed sun?

“Jupiter is often called a ‘failed star’ because, although it is mostly hydrogen like most normal stars, it is not massive enough to commence thermonuclear reactions in its core and thus become a ‘real star’.”

How many planets could be habitable?

“Based on the findings, the Kepler team estimated there to be “at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way” of which “at least 500 million” are in the habitable zone.”

Could there be more than 8 planets in our solar system?

“Theoretically, there is room for thousands. The solar system contains eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all of which circle the sun due to its intense gravitational pull.”

Can the Sun fit 1 million Earths?

“The answer is that it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun. That’s a lot of Earths. The Sun makes up 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System.”

Is there a maximum size for planets?

“A planet can be no bigger than about 10 times the mass of Jupiter, an astrophysicist has concluded. Of course, that’s pretty darned massive. Jupiter carries almost 318 times the mass of Earth, making the most massive planets possible the equivalent of nearly 3,200 Earths.”
