About Solar Masses
A solar mass (M☉) is the mass of our Sun - approximately 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg - and is the standard unit for measuring stellar and galactic masses in astronomy. The Sun contains 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. Stellar evolution models describe stars of 0.08 M☉ (the minimum for hydrogen fusion) to over 200 M☉ (the most massive known stars). Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies range from millions to billions of solar masses: the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way (Sagittarius A*) is approximately 4.3 million M☉.
About Ounces
The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is 1/16 of a pound, equal to approximately 28.35 grams. It is the everyday ounce used in the United States and United Kingdom for food portions, household quantities, and general trade. US food packages, recipe measurements, and nutrition labels reference ounces; a standard stick of butter is 4 oz, a can of soup typically 10.75 oz, and a baseball weighs 5-5.25 oz. Unlike the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals, the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) is lighter.
