However, the Earth is just a tiny, almost insignificant part of the solar system; the total mass of the Earth amounts to only 0.2% of the total mass of all of the other planets combined. The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the entire solar system with planets only accounting for the remaining 0.14%. This means that the Earth’s share of the total mass of the solar system is only 3*10
-6or 3 millionths of the mass of the solar system…..a trivial proportion by anyone’s standards. Fortunately, our almost insignificant planet just happens to be in the right location to have conditions that allowed not only creation of life but was right for early simple life to evolve to the diversity of complex life that includes humans.
