Answer:
The mass of Sun is [tex]65\times 10^5[/tex] times greater than mass of Mercury.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Mass of the sun=[tex]M=2.13525\times 10^{30}[/tex] kg
Mass of Mercury, [tex]m=3.285\times 10^{23}[/tex]kg
We have to find how many times greater is the mass of the sun than the mass of Mercury.
Mass of sun/Mass of mercury=[tex]\frac{2.13525\times 10^{30}}{3.285\times 10^{23}}[/tex]
Mass of sun/Mass of mercury[tex]=0.65\times 10^{30-23}[/tex]
Using the property
[tex]a^x/a^y=a^{x-y}[/tex]
Mass of sun/Mass of mercury[tex]=0.65\times 10^{7}[/tex]
Mass of sun/Mass of mercury[tex]=65\times 10^5[/tex]
Mass of Sun=[tex]65\times 10^5[/tex] times Mass of Mercury
Hence, the mass of Sun is [tex]65\times 10^5[/tex] times greater than mass of Mercury.
