Convert Solar masses to Earth masses

Explanation

From this page you can convert Solar masses to Earth masses (or M_☉ to M_⊕) simply, by using the application above.

In case you are wondering, to convert from Solar masses to Earth masses you need to multiply by 332943.2054. This factor is calculated using the respective definitions of the two units you can find below.

Formula

1 M_☉≈332943.2054 M_⊕

Solar massesM_☉

dimension	mass
symbol	M_☉
synonyms	Sun masses

This unit represents the mass of the Sun (M_☉).

The Sun is the star at the center of the solar system.

It is a giant ball of plasma powered by nuclear fusion in its core. This plasma is composed of hydrogen at roughly 73% and helium at 25%.

The Sun is a relatively small star classified as a yellow dwarf, but still contains about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system.

Value

The mass of the Sun is 1.98847×10³⁰ kilograms.

Some Facts

The Sun diameter is a mere 10 times the diameter of Jupiter but its mass is more than a thousand times the one of the biggest planet in the Solar System.

The nuclear fusion reactions within the Sun's core convert 4 millions tons of mater into energy every second. It seems like a lot but in 4.5 billion years it will have only lost about 0.03% of its mass.

Earth massesM_⊕

dimension	mass
symbol	M_⊕

This unit represents the mass of Earth (M_⊕).

Earth is the third planet from the Sun.

It is the largest rocky planet in the solar system and the only one to harbor life as far as the predominant species of the planet knows.

Value

The mass of Earth is 5.9724×10²⁴ kilograms.

Some Facts

The major part of the mass of Earth comes from atoms of iron and oxygen. Those two elements alone represent around 64% of the total mass (32% each). Then come atoms of magnesium and silicium at 15% each.
