Convert Solar masses to Jupiter masses

Explanation

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

In case you are wondering, to convert from Solar masses to Jupiter masses you need to multiply by 1047.5611. This factor is calculated using the respective definitions of the two units you can find below.

Formula

1 M_☉≈1047.5611 M_J

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.

Jupiter massesM_J

dimension	mass
symbol	M_J
synonyms	Jovian masses

This unit represents the mass of Jupiter (M_J).

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the first gaz giant. It is the largest planet in the solar system.

The distinctive red spot of Jupiter is a storm that has been raging for at least 350 years and has wind-speeds up to 432 km/h. The storm is more than twice the diameter of Earth.

Value

The mass of Jupiter is 1.89819×10²⁷ kilograms.

Some Facts

Jupiter is more than 300 times more massive than Earth and its gravity more than 2.5 times the one of our planet. Also, I'm sorry to be the one who tells you but no, Jupiter would not float, even in an ocean big enough. Its mean density is 1.3 kg/l and therefore greater than the density of water (even salt water). Yet another myth crumbles.
