mass of sun = 1.989*10∧30 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

The mass of the sun is much greater than that of earth.

Explanation:

• The mass of the sun is 1.989 * 10^30 kg
• The mass of the earth is 5.972 * 10^24 kg
• The mass of the sun is about 3.33 * 10^5 times that of the earth.
• The star at the centre of the Solar System is the Sun. It is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma that has been ignited by nuclear fusion processes in its core.
• The energy it emits is primarily visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
• The majority of the energy used by life on Earth comes from this source.
• Only one astronomical object—Earth, which is third from the Sun—is known to support life.
• Although the Solar System contains enormous amounts of water, only Earth is home to liquid surface water.

The mass of the sun is much more compared to that of the earth.
