QuestionHow many Earths ($5.972 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}$) equal the mass of a sun ($1.61244 \times 10^{32} \mathrm{~kg}$)? Answer in scientific notation.

Studdy Solution
Perform the division operation to calculate the number of earths.
$$Number\, of\, earths = \frac{1.61244 \times10^{32}}{.972 \times10^{24}} =2.7 \times10^7$$So, it would take approximately $2.7 \times10^7$ earths to equal the mass of the sun.
