Not surprisingly it is exactly one solar mass.

The word solar refers to the sun. So the sun is 1 solar mass.

A sun or as you call a star, are not created = in that a planets inner mass can be made up of example a high level of Frozen Methane and lower percent of oxygen and a few other lower Chemical masses....Then this would create a highly combustion upper atmosphere Layers, for example( like our earths atmosphere has mostly oxygen ) Then if a burning giant asteroid entered this type of atmosphere setting upper atmosphere layers to fire...Like our Earth keeps on producing a oxygen upper atmosphere. This type of planet would keep fueling it's burning upper atmosphere. ( Not all Sun's created = ) Chemical Charge

One!
That is the definition of solar mass = 1: a star of which that is true equals the mass of the star Sol.
Similarly a star with a luminosity of 1 has a luminosity equal to that of Sol. And a star which is 1 Solar Diameter in diameter is (you guessed it) equal in diameter to Sol.
Being the local star we know best, it provides us with a yardstick against which to measure all other stars.

One. The mass of our star is the example by which we measure the masses of other stars.

WOW!!!!! This is another whole level of ignorance! Were you by any chance home-schooled?
