The Sun
"The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System.The Sun is, at present, about 70% hydrogen and 28% helium by mass, metals amount to less than 2%. This changes slowly over time as the Sun converts hydrogen to helium in its core. There are eight planets and a large number of smaller objects orbiting the Sun."(Nine planets)
