If we compare the size of the planets, the differences between them become even clearer. Jupiter is the leader in terms of
size and weight; small Mercury, on the other hand, is even smaller than one of Jupiter’s moons. Jupiter is so massive that
alone it contains roughly 70% of the mass of all the other planets and has a massive impact on it’s surrounding. That’s a
blessing for earth, since Jupiter draws most of the dangerously large asteroids that could wipe out life on Earth. But even
Jupiter is a dwarf in comparison to our star, the sun. Calling it massive does not do justice to the sun. it makes up 99.86%
of the mass in our solar system. For the most part/ it consists of hydrogen and helium. Only less than 2% is made up
heavy element, like oxygen or iron. At it’s core, the Sun fuses 620 million tons of hydrogen tons of hydrogen each second
and generates enough energy to satisfy mankind’s needs for year. But not only the eight planets orbit our Sun. Trillion of
asteroids and comet also circle. It Most of them are concentrate into two belts: the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
