THE MASS OF THE SUN IS ABOUT 10^27 METRIC TONS , OR 10^30 KILOGRAMS . HOW MANY KILOGRAMS ARE IN ONE METRIC TON ?

explain please i want to understand this question :)
this is my question i posted before and drwls answer me but i need the answer in detials to understand and thank u drwls ..
Since 10^27 metric tons and 10^30 kilograms are the same, the conversion factor must be
10^30 kg/10^27 m.t = 10^3 kg per metric ton
10^3 is what you multiply the no. of metric tons by to get kg.
Put another way:
10^27 metric tons = 10^30 kg
Divide both sides of the equation by 10^27
Therefore
1 metric ton = 10^3 kg = 1000 kg
If 120 donuts is 10 dozen, there must be 12 in a dozen. The logic is the same.
I had this same question ;) I guess its already been answered
Yehh dis is da hurd qeston we lukin fur thunk u very much.Honestly I couldn't appreciate how much you have done for me,but you have to forgive yourself now for mistaking me for someone so Childish.

To understand how many kilograms are in one metric ton, you need to know the conversion factor between the two units.
A metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms. This means that 1 metric ton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms.
To see this conversion in action, let's take the given mass of the sun, which is stated to be about 10^27 metric tons. We can multiply this value by the conversion factor of 1,000 kilograms per metric ton to get the mass of the sun in kilograms.
Mathematically, it would look like this:
Mass of the sun in kilograms = (Mass of the sun in metric tons) * (Conversion factor)
= (10^27 metric tons) * (1,000 kilograms/metric ton)
= 10^27 metric tons * 1,000 kilograms/metric ton
Now, if we simplify this, we can see that the metric tons cancel out, leaving us with the mass of the sun in kilograms:
= 10^27 * 1,000 kilograms
= 10^(27+3) kilograms
= 10^30 kilograms
Therefore, based on the given information, the mass of the sun is approximately 10^30 kilograms, which is equal to 10^27 metric tons.
