How many planets can fit the Sun?

The answer is that it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun. That’s a lot of Earths. The Sun makes up 99.86\% of the mass of the Solar System. And it’s the giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn which make the most of that remaining .

How big would all the planets be together?

Did you know that you could actually cram all of the planets in the solar system between the Earth and the Moon? To break this down, if you take the average diameters of all the planets and add them up, you get some 236,120 miles (380,000 kilometers).

What happens when all the planets align with the Sun?

Even if the planets did all align in a perfectly straight line, it would have negligible effects on the earth. There are only two solar system objects with enough gravity to significantly affect earth: the moon and the sun. The sun’s gravity is strong because the sun is so massive.

Can you put all planets between Earth and Moon?

The Moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away. That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the Moon.

Would the Sun fit between Earth and moon?

NO, planets of our solar system, with or without Pluto, cannot fit within the mean lunar distance.

Will the planets align in 2020?

Bottom line: Jupiter and Saturn will have their 2020 great conjunction today, which is also the day of the December solstice. These two worlds will be visibly closer in our sky than they’ve been since 1226. At their closest, Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degree apart.

Can all 8 planets align?

Because of the orientation and tilt of their orbits, the eight major planets of the Solar System can never come into perfect alignment. The last time they appeared even in the same part of the sky was over 1,000 years ago, in the year AD 949, and they won’t manage it again until 6 May 2492.

What would happen without the sun?

Without the Sun’s rays, all photosynthesis on Earth would stop. All plants would die and, eventually, all animals that rely on plants for food — including humans — would die, too.
