The layers record information about the climate of the planet stretching back several million years. Erosion has created scarps and troughs that expose the layering. The tan-colored layers are the dusty water ice of the polar layered deposits, however a section of bluish layers is visible below them. These bluish layers contain sand-sized rock fragments that likely formed a large polar dunefield before the overlying dusty ice was deposited. This photograph, depicting an area approximately 1.3 km (0.8 mi) across, was captured by the 1216: 3414: 3040: 3001: 3624: 670: 2820: 1805: 3113: 2912: 585: 3263: 3140: 3441: 1063: 3341: 3213: 3236: 969: 6407: 6069: 3989: 3566: 3467: 4081: 1914: 1819: 3996: 3490: 1493: 6062: 2978: 1737: 1671: 6353: 6317: 2586: 3958: 3163: 2496: 2384: 4074: 2086: 6242: 172: 5774: 2764: 4088: 22: 6479: 6425: 6299: 5979: 5786: 4281: 6443: 6262: 6461: 6222: 1438:. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometres (860,000 miles) or 109 times that of Earth, while its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth. It accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. Roughly three-quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen; the rest is mostly helium, with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including 6202: 6142: 4042: 6182: 6162: 5967: 4035: 2007: 6055: 2281: 4300: 3722: 6011: 6122: 6389: 5955: 6004: 4128: 5943: 3515: 4028: 3982: 6018: 6497: 1215: 6371: 6335: 3301: 2704: 2946: 2885: 3654: 2334:
