The mass of the sun is approximately 2 × 10^30 kg and the mass of the moon is approximately 4 × 10^12 kg. The mass of the sun is approximately how many times the mass of the moon?  Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 4.0 × 10^(−18)	B) 2.5 × 10^17	C) 4.0 × 10^18	D) 5 × 10^17	E) 4.0 × 10^42
Mass of sun = x * Mass of moon   x = Mass of sun / Mass of moon = (2 × 10^30) / (4 × 10^12) = 2*2^-2*10^18 = 10^18/2 = 5*10^17   Ans. 5 × 10^17) 5 × 10^17
