How to Convert Sun's Mass to Megagram
To convert solar masses to kg: multiply by 1.98847 × 10³⁰.
M☉ = 1.98847 × 10³⁰ kg ≈ 333,000 M⊕ ≈ 1,048 M_Jupiter.
For example, 1 Sun's Mass (M☉) = 1.988470e+27 Megagram (Mg).

About Sun's Mass (M☉)
The solar mass is the mass of the Sun, approximately 1.989 × 10³⁰ kilograms — about 333,000 times the mass of Earth.
M☉ = 1.98847 × 10³⁰ kg ≈ 333,000 M⊕ ≈ 1,048 M_Jupiter.
To convert solar masses to kg: multiply by 1.98847 × 10³⁰.
Expressing stellar masses: Betelgeuse ≈ 15 M☉, Sirius ≈ 2 M☉, a typical neutron star ≈ 1.4 M☉.
The Sun loses about 5 million tonnes per second through nuclear fusion (E=mc²), but that's only 10⁻¹³ M☉ per year.
The Sun is losing mass continuously through radiation and solar wind — its mass is not quite constant over billions of years.
Almost everything in astronomy uses solar masses: stars (0.1–100 M☉), galaxies (10⁹–10¹² M☉), black holes (3–10⁹ M☉).
