'''The Sun''' is the [[star]] at the [[center]] of [[Earth]]'s [[Solar System]]. The Sun has a [[diameter]] of about 1,392,000 kilometers (865,000 mi) (about 109 Earths), and by itself accounts for about 99.86% of the Solar System's [[mass]]; the remainder consists of the planets (including Earth), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid asteroids], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid meteoroids], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet comets], and dust in [[orbit]]. About three-quarters of the Sun's mass consists of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen hydrogen], while most of the rest is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium helium]. Less than 2% consists of other elements, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron iron], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon carbon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon neon], and others.
