It has been estimated that at least a million meteors have hit the Earth's land surface, which is only 25 percent of the planet. Every last trace of more than 99 percent of the craters thus formed has vanished, erased by wind, water, and living things
Would a bucket or sun weigh more than a bucket of earth?
A bucket filled with earth would weigh about 5 times more than the same bucket filled with the substance of the Sun. However, the force of gravity is so much greater on the Sun that a man weighing 150 pounds on our planet would weigh 2 tons on the Sun.
How long will the sun burn?
The sun burns 9 million tons of gas a second. At this rate, it has been estimated it will burn out in another 10 billion years.
