The mass of the sun is approximately 2 × 10^25 kg and the mass of the moon is approximately 8 × 10^12 kg. The mass of the sun is approximately how many times the mass of the moon?
Select the correct option.
A) 4.0 × 10^(−18) B) 2.5 × 10^12 C) 4.0 × 10^18 D) 2.5 × 10^19 E) 4.0 × 10^42
Mass of sun = x * Mass of moon   x = Mass of sun / Mass of moon = (2 × 10^25) / (8 × 10^12) = 2*2^-3*10^13 = 10^13/4 = 2.5*10^12   Ans. 2.5 × 10^12) 2.5 × 10^12
