Question

The mass of the Sun is about $(1,00,000\times \text{m})$ times the mass of the Earth. What is the value of $\text{m}$?

• A. 3.3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3.3
The Sun is the most massive celestial object in the solar system with its mass comprising about $99.8\%$ of the system = $2\times {10}^{30}\text{kg}$. The Sun's mass is about 3.3 lakh times ($\approx 3,30,000$ times) that of the Earth's mass. In other words, about $3,30,000$ earths would weigh the same as the Sun.
