Question

The mass of the sun is 1 x 10^30 kilograms. The mass of the earth is 5 x 10^24 kilograms. How many times bigger is the sun than the Earth? (Need help on how to solve please)

Answer 1

`2` x
`10^(6)`

Explanation:

In answering this question we need to divide the mass of the earth by the mass of the sun to find our how many times bigger it would be!

We know that the mass of the sun is
`1` x
`10^(30)` and the mass of the earth is
`5` x
`10^(24)`

We now need to divide these...

• 
  `1` x
  `10^(30)` ÷
  `5` x
  `10^(24)` =
  `2` x
  `10^(6)`

This means that the sun is
`2` x
`10^(6)` times bigger!!

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
