The Sun holds nearly all the system's mass

The Sun accounts for about 99.8% of the Solar System’s mass; more precise references give roughly 99.86%. Most of the remainder is in the giant planets, especially Jupiter and Saturn. So “99%” is correct as a rough statement, though it understates the Sun’s share by about one percentage point. [1–3]

The Sun dominates the mass, even as the planets draw our attention.
