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 Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
