WHAT DOES SOLAR MASS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

solar mass

Solar mass

The solar mass is a standard unit of mass in astronomy that is used to indicate the masses of other stars, as well as clusters, nebulae and galaxies. It is equal to the mass of the Sun, about two nonillion kilograms: The above mass is about 332,946 times the mass of the Earth or 1,048 times the mass of Jupiter. Because the Earth follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun, its solar mass can be computed from the equation for the orbital period of a small body orbiting a central mass. Based upon the length of the year, the distance from the Earth to the Sun, and the gravitational constant, the mass of the Sun is given by: . The value of the gravitational constant was derived from measurements that were made by Henry Cavendish in 1798 with a torsion balance. The value he obtained differs by only 1% from the modern value. The diurnal parallax of the Sun was accurately measured during the transits of Venus in 1761 and 1769, yielding a value of 9″. If we know the value of the diurnal parallax, we can determine the distance to the Sun from the geometry of the Earth. The first person to estimate the mass of the Sun was Isaac Newton.
