The mass of the Sun is how much larger than all of the other planets, asteroids, and other bodies in the solar system?
a. 100 times larger
b. 200 times larger
c. 500 times larger
d. 700 times larger

The amount by which the mass of sun is larger than other planets, moons, asteroids and other bodies in the solar system, from the following options.
100 times larger
200 times larger
500 times larger
700 times larger
Answer to Problem 1AC
Solution:
Option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Actually, the mass of the sun is nothing but the force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the other massive bodies. And, the value is nothing but the sum of all these attractions calculated altogether.
Explanation:
Reason for the correct option:
The sun has 700 times the mass of all the planets, moons, and minor members of the solar system together. Actually, it is nothing but the force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the other massive bodies. So, the value is nothing but the sum of all these attractions calculated altogether.
Reason for the incorrect option:
As the sum of all the gravitational attractions calculated altogether amounts to 700 times. So the correct option is (d) and (a), (b), (c) are the incorrect options.
Conclusion:
The sun has 700 times the mass of all the planets, moons, and minor members of the solar system together.

Assume the density of this water is 1000. kg/m3 and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg˚C. It takes 2.31x10^19 J of energy to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.0 °C to 25.8 ˚C. An electric power plant can produce about 1110 MW. How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using the 1110 MW from an electric power plant?arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
