Jupiter weighs- 7.7.000.907.000.000.000
In the equation M_{J}=954.7919(15) x 10^{-6}\;M_{Sun}, what is the significance of the term "(15)"? It's confusing and seems unneeded/unwanted when comparing this equation to the previous equation and comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8A:400:82D0:9DF6:8163:7AA8:8824 ( talk) 04:15, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Many articles use Jupiter mass, but isn't there a better type of mass, called atom weights? Really, Jupiter mass is not a metric mass and so is really hard to calculate the difference. If it is done, can't it be made a metric mass for easier conversions? Albertgenii12 ( talk) 22:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
With recent talk at Talk:Jupiter of merging this article into Jupiter. I'm wondering why this, a unit of measurement article, in the scope of any astronomy related Wikiproject.
Should other units be part of astronomy Wikiprojects? kg? km?
I don't want to start a Wikiproject war!! I'm just wondering at the logic. HarryAlffa ( talk) 18:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
The table displays Teide 1 and Gliese 229B in the wrong positions, they should be reversed. Using their respective Wikipedia pages as the source; Teide 1 has a radius "..about that of Jupiter" and Gliese 229B has "..a mass of 20 to 50 times that of Jupiter." This error is in the image clearly and would likely be difficult to correct. Also, other than being inaccurate doesn't detract from the overall main point of the graphic. -- Anotherparalyzer ( talk) 05:56, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Is this name thoroughly standard or endorsed conventionally? I remember it used to be "jovian mass"; if people are using these words, then 'Jupiter–mass' looks better excepting that it implies the units were integrated mathematically.

produces M♃, but is only used in 3 out of its 581 transclusions (0.5%). ~
