question 6
the suns mass is about _________ times that of the earth.
30
300
3,000
30,000
300,000
3

Explanation:

The mass of the Sun is approximately \(1.989\times10^{30}\) kg, and the mass of the Earth is about \(5.972\times 10^{24}\) kg. When we calculate the ratio \(\frac{\text{Mass of Sun}}{\text{Mass of Earth}}=\frac{1.989\times 10^{30}}{5.972\times 10^{24}}\approx333000\). Among the given options, 300,000 is the closest value.

Answer:

300,000
