The mass of Earth is 1 millionth of the mass of the Sun.

Explanation:

The Sun is too massive to compare it to even Jupiter let alone Earth. About 99.98% of the mass of the Solar System is concentrated in the Sun. The Majority of the rest is occupied by Jupiter and the leftover mass is distributed among other Planets, Comets and Asteroids.

The mass of the Earth is 1 millionth of the mass of the Sun. About 1300,000 Earths could fit inside the Sun.
