How much does the sun weigh?

The weight of the sun in tons is a staggering figure. You can write it down as 2,184,759 and then add 21 zeros to this number. We also can say that the total weight of our star is more than two million sextillion tons. Of course this is a mere estimate, an educated guess, and the sun may be several billion tons lighter or heavier than this figure. But this variation could be compared to your gaining or losing a couple of ounces.

In size, the sun is big enough to swallow our globe more than a million times. But when it cores to weight, our world is more solid. It would take only about 3009000 earth sized planets to equal the weight of our giant sun. What's more, our little earth is heavier for its size than any other object in the Solar System.
