The sun is about 1000 times the mass of Jupiter. You’re off a decimal place.

Edit: That in and of itself is a quotable fact. The real number rounds to 1053. So it’s about 5% off. It’s a meaningless coincidence.

Better ones include that our moon can produce both total and annular eclipses, and (geometrically) all the other planets fit between the earth and moon, but not by much.
