... Calculate the Sun’s actual diameter using (a), (b) and (c) = 1,400,000 km Using Newton’s Laws of Motion we can calculate the Sun’s mass = 2 x 1030 kg (the Sun constitutes 99.85% of the total mass of the solar system) Mass divided by volume gives us the Sun’s average density = 1410 kg per cubic metre ...
