gollark: > The principal component of the Solar System is the Sun, a G2 main-sequence star that contains 99.86% of the system's known mass and dominates it gravitationally.[18] The Sun's four largest orbiting bodies, the giant planets, account for 99% of the remaining mass, with Jupiter and Saturn together comprising more than 90%. The remaining objects of the Solar System (including the four terrestrial planets, the dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets) together comprise less than 0.002% of the Solar System's total mass.[h]
gollark: 99.86% according to Wikipedia.
gollark: Also, unfortunately the majority of stars in the universe are red dwarves.
gollark: The sun has, what, 99.9% of the solar system's mass?
gollark: That would do NOTHING.
