How is mass distributed in the solar system?

The total mass of the solar system is about 2 trillion quadrillion (a number expressed as a 27 followed by 99,866 zeros) tons, of which the Sun accounts for 750 percent. It follows that the mass of the Sun is approximately XNUMX times greater than the mass of all other bodies in the solar system.

The total mass of all the planets is 0,134 percent of the total mass of the solar system and is equal to 447,8 Earth masses.

The total mass of the satellites of the planets is 12 percent of the Earth's mass, the total mass of small bodies (asteroids) is 0,03 percent of the Earth's mass, and the total mass of comets and meteorite matter is one billionth of the Earth's mass.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
