minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•3 hours agoYou’re understating it a bit there - the sun is 99.86% of the mass of the solar system by itself. To the nearest whole percent, the solar system consists of 100% “the sun”. To the nearest 0.1%, it’s 99.9% the sun and 0.1% Jupiter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_mass
