Q: How much money is spread out in the solar system?
A: If the solar system was to be put into money, I would distribute it like this:
Sun: $50
Planets: $25 total
Moons: $10 total
Satellites: $4 total
Minor elements (stars, comets, asteroids, etc...): $11 total
Actual:
Sun: $99.85
Jupiter + moons: 10.6 cents
Saturn: 3.2 cents
Neptune: .006 cents
Uranus: .005 cents
Earth: .0003 cents
Mercury: .00002 cents
Venus: .0003 cents
Mars: .00004 cents
Minor Elements (TNOs, Asteroids, Comets, etc...): almost nothing
Well, as you can see I was way off!
