The mass of the sun is approximately 2 × 10^30 kg and the mass of the moon is approximately 9 × 10^12 kg. The mass of the sun is approximately how many times the mass of the moon?  Choose the correct choice:
A) 4.0 × 10^(−18)  B) 2.5 × 10^17  C) 4.0 × 10^18  D) 2.5 × 10^19  E) 3.33 × 10^17
Mass of sun = x * Mass of moon   x = Mass of sun / Mass of moon = (3 × 10^30) / (9 × 10^12) = 3*3^-2*10^18 = 10^18/3 = 3.33*10^17   Ans. 3.33 × 10^17) 3.33 × 10^17
