Open Sol in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
| Quantity | Value | Uncertainty | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radius | 6.957×10^8 m (695700 km) | no published uncertainty in this registry | Solar system (curated) ✓ confirmed by 1 further source: GCAT worlds |
| Mass | 1.98892×10^30 kg | no published uncertainty in this registry | Solar system (curated) ✓ confirmed by 1 further source: GCAT worlds |
| Temperature | 5778 K | no published uncertainty in this registry | Solar system (curated) |
Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.

G2V main-sequence star. Convention: Sol at Milky Way origin. Drift = the Sun’s measured galactocentric motion: LSR circular rotation v_c = 229 km/s [Eilers et al. 2019] + solar peculiar motion (U,V,W)⊙ = (11.10, 12.24, 7.25) km/s [Schönrich et al. 2010]. [IAU]
