what is the weight of the world.added to the weight of the sun?

Question

i mean how much is there total in tons

Answer 1

The sun and the earth do not have any "weight" but they do have great mass.

Using Newton's laws of motion and the laws of gravity, the mass of the sun can be calculated as 2 x 10^30 kg and the mass of the earth is 6 x 10^24 kg.

That means the mass of the sun is 33,000 times greater than that of the earth, so our earth is rather insignificant in the big picture. So essentially the mass of the earth and sun combined is the same as the sun alone, or 2 x 10^30 kg or 2 x 10^27 tons.

Your answer is 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.

(Yahoo cut me off - that's a 2 with 30 zeros!)

or:
2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons

(Yahoo cut me off again - thats a 2 with 27 zeros!)

Answer 2

Weight is relative to the gravitational pull being exerted on a body, when dealing with an object on a planet, the plant in question has the largest effect on it's weight so other factors can largely be ignored, the sun is subject to the gravitational pull of many bodies in constantly changing positions, so it's weight is constantly changing. Different parts of a body have slightly different weights so for convenience the weight is calculated by measuring it from a point (the centre of gravity) Since at this point gravitational forces of the body itself cancel out in all directions, the body, in this case the sun, cannot be said to have a weight, if it's own gravitational force is the primary gravitational force acting on it, this is the case for the sun, the moon earth and any body in a stable orbit, because their orbital momentum cancels out the gravitational pull from external bodies and their weight cannot be measured relative to themselves for reasons outlined above

Answer 3

Mass of the Earth: 5.9742 × 10^24 kilograms, or 6.58542823 × 10^21 short tons

Mass of the Sun: 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms, or 2.19240901 × 10^27 short tons

Together: 2.19241559 x 10^27 short tons

Basically, the Earth's mass added to the sun's would barely make a blip.

Answer 4

I'd guess 3 pounds and 4 ounces. But as the objects are suspended in space they have only mass and no weight, so i spose the answer is nothing.
I'd like to add also that this is a most interesting question, and deserves thought.

Answer 5

The sun spits out more than the Earth's weight every day.

Answer 6

I don't think that i can say total weight but i can compare them. Let's say that the weight of the Earth is 1.0 . In that case the weight of The Sun is 333000. Is that ok? :)

Answer 7

You wouldent be able to weigh it. Its gravity that gives things weight in our case the earths gravity gives us weight.

You would have to calculate its total mass. But then saying that as the sun is constantly burning its mass would always be changing.

Answer 8

the sun weighs 1.9891 ×10 to the power 28 t and the earth weighs 5.9736×10 to the power 21 t.

Answer 9

Thats a question for Mr Atlas who carried the world on his shoulders.

Answer 10

Weight is relative - and considering they both float in space - I would suggest that the weight is all cancelled out - so nothing !
