Convert one Solar mass to Saturn masses

Explanation

To convert one Solar mass to Saturn masses all we need is to know the conversion factor and we are done. Luckily, we can compute that factor using the units' definitions below.

We find that one Solar mass is approximately equal to 3498.7332 Saturn masses.

Formula

1 M_☉ ≈ 3498.7332 Saturn masses

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.

Saturn masses

dimension	mass

This unit represents the mass of Saturn.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and second of the gaz giants.

Its most prominent feature is its rings. They are made of particles of ice ranging in size from micrometers to meters.

Value

The mass of Saturn is 5.6834×10²⁶ kilograms.

Some Facts

Saturn is the least dense planet in the Solar System. With a density of only 0.7 kg/l, Saturn would float if plunged in an ocean big enough and would be the only planet in our system to do so.
