∙ 15y agoThe composition of the Sun is essentially hydrogen and helium. Earth is made of many various minerals (refer to Periodic Table of elements). The layers of the Earth is as followed from innermost to outermost: Inter solid core, Outer liquid core, mantel (athenosphere, lithosphere) and crust. The Sun's layers are as followed, innermost to outermost: core, radiation zone, convection zone, chromosphere, supergranular cells, photosphere. The mass of the Sun is 1.9891x10^30 kg, which is 332,946 Earths'.

∙ 13y agoOkay, so Earth is huge from our perspective. There are three other planets of "similar" size (Mercury, venus, and mars) and four planets of much larger size (jupiter, saturn, uranus, and neptune). Jupiter and Saturn are by far the biggest, but Jupiter is larger. In fact, all of the other planets (including Earth) put together with Saturn are not as big as Jupiter. So how big is the sun compared to this? Let's add up the mass of all the planets - and add everything else in the solar system (apart from the sun) like dwarf planets and asteroids and such. All this accounts for 0.16% of the mass in the solar system, the rest is the sun.

∙ 10y agoThe sun is fairly average both in terms of size and temperature. There are numerous smaller stars, known as red dwarfs. These tend to be cooler than our sun. There are also lots of stars about the same size and temperature as our sun, and then there are stars that are larger--far larger. Enormously bigger. The bigger a star is, the fewer that size there are.
The Hertzprung-Russell diagram depicts the typical size/temperature range distribution of stars within our galaxy. (See link).

How are stars classified by size and temperature?
it is classified by thier size because stars are big and hot. the temperature is may up to 100,000,000 hotter than other stars
How does a stars size effect its color and temperature?
when your butt touches it
How do you determine a stars luminosity?
To determine a star's luminosity is from size and temperature.
What affects the brightness of stars?
relative "brightness" is based on distance, size, and temperature
What is the temperature of the big dipper?
The Big Dipper is a collection of individual stars that appear to form a pattern in the sky because of their positions. The individual stars have no connection or association with each other. Each one has its own individual color, temperature, size, and distance from our solar system.
How does the size of your sun compare to the size of other stars?
The sun is larger than about 95% of stars in the galaxy.
How are stars classified by size and temperature?

How does the sun temperature compare to stars?
The sun is a star - so it's the same as any star its size.
How does the size of our sun compare to the size of other stars in the night sky?
Our Sun is an average-sized star.
How does the sun compare in size and color to other stars in the galaxy?
It doesn't, really. Some stars are even bigger than our Sun!
What determines how bright stars are?
Size and temperature determine the brightness of stars.
How does the sun differ in size and temperature from other stars like rigel?
The sun is much smaller and cooler.
What is used to classify stars?
Size, color and temperature.
What depends on a stars size?
It's mass and temperature.
What are the things that make stars different?
there size and temperature!
Do color temperature and size classify stars?
yes
How does the sun compare to other stars in terms of surface temperature apparent magnitude absolute magnitude and size?
Our Sun is pretty much average. It's larger than about 60 to 70 % of the other stars in the Milky Way; the estimate increases as we keep discovering more and more very small and very dim brown dwarf "stars" (that are right on the boundary between "star" and "not star").
