| Jul 14, 2021 at 0:48 | comment | added | rob♦ | One fact that surprises my astronomy students is that the Sun contains more than 99% of the mass of the solar system. A second fact that surprises them is that Jupiter contains more than half of what's left — that is, Jupiter is more massive than all of the other planets, minor planets, comets, etc. combined. Total human biomass is likewise a negligible part of the mass of the Earth. The answer to your question is the answer to the Jupiter question, but dialed way back. | |

I wouldn't mind more details on typical vs atypical interactions and why that is though | |
| Jul 13, 2021 at 23:56 | comment | added | TCooper | Thanks for the link for the read, interesting either way but I think the difference in chemical composition may be important? Asking because I don't know though.. And certainly think the difference in mass would be relevant. Even all the humans on earth right now (highest population in history) we wouldn't match the mass of Jupiter, right? | |
