the mass of earth is 5.9x10to the 24th power and venus is 4.9x10 to the 24th power how many of each would it take to equal the mass of the sun if the sun is 1.9x10 to the 30th power

Sun = 1.9 x 10^30 = 19 x 10^29

-----------------------

Earth = 5.9 x 10^24 ---> if we want to find how many earths that it would take to make a sun, we need to divide the size of the sun by the size of the earth:    

(19 x 10^29) ÷ (5.9 x 10^24 ) = (19 ÷ 5.9) x (10^29 ÷ 10^24) ≈ 3.2 x 10^5

(Divide 19 by 5.9 to get 3; divide 10^29 by 10^24 to get 10^5 (subtract exponents).)

------------------------

Venus = 4.9 x 10^24 ---> Dividing the size of the sun by the size of Venus:

(19 x 10^29) ÷ (4.9 x 10^24 ) = (19 ÷ 5.9) x (10^29 ÷ 10^24) ≈ 3.9 x 10^5
