The mass of Jupiter is 1,898 × 10^24 kilograms.
The mass of Earth is 5.97 × 10^24 kilograms.
The mass of the Sun is 1,989,000 × 10^24 kilograms.
Based on the given, we can directly compare the difference in masses of the Sun to Jupiter and Earth. To do so, we simply divide the mass of Jupiter and Earth to the mass of the Sun individually.
= 1,989,000 × 10^24 kilograms/1,898 × 10^24 kilograms
= 1048
The sun is 1048 times heavier than Jupiter.
= 1,989,000 × 10^24 kilograms/5.97 × 10^24 kilograms
=331,166
The sun is 331,166 times heavier than Earth.
