  • Okay, very confusing question…

    So, assuming you want to know how heavy only the “solid at room temperature” elements of the sun are, let’s try this.

    The sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kilograms.

    According to this: https://www.thoughtco.com/element-composition-of-sun-607581 we can see the % of total mass for each element.

    • Element % of total atoms % of total mass
    • Hydrogen 91.2 71.0
    • Helium 8.7 27.1
    • Oxygen 0.078 0.97
    • Carbon 0.043 0.40
    • Nitrogen 0.0088 0.096
    • Silicon 0.0045 0.099
    • Magnesium 0.0038 0.076
    • Neon 0.0035 0.058
    • Iron 0.030 0.014
    • Sulfur 0.015 0.040

    Doing the math and removing the “gas at room temperature” elements… the total mass would be:

    1.7901 * 10^28 kilograms

    Note: Pretty sure I’ve messed something up here in the calculations but the mass is so ridiculously heavy that I don’t think it really matters.

    Not in IT, but in software dev and I have some of the same issues dealing with support calls. I usually start off with “I’m sure you’ve tried some of this, so sorry in advance but can you… <insert super basic troubleshooting shit here>”. Seems to always get them to humor me and try doing things like restarting the computer and/or software.

    I spent nearly 6-7 years developing control systems applications in LabVIEW. While I loved working in LabVIEW, I don’t wish LabVIEW was more popular, but I would love to see a graphical programming language take off. The dataflow paradigm is really interesting to work with.
