The mass of the moon is about 7.3x10^22kg. It would take approximately 26000000 moons to equal the mass of the sun. Determine the mass of the sun.

Answer 1

Convert 26000000 moons to scientific notation: 2.6x10^7 moons

7.3x10^22 kg/moon x 2.6x10^7 moons = 18.98x10^29 kg = ~1.9x10^30 kg (mass of the sun)
