The mass of Earth is

5.9 × 10 to the 24th power kg.

The mass of the sun is

2 × 10 to the 30th power kg.

How many times larger is the mass of the sun than the mass of Earth? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Solution:

M(sun)/M(earth) = (2*10^30)/(5.9*10^24) = 3.39*10^5

So the mass of the sun is 3.39*10^5 times larger than the mass of Earth
