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

1000.

explain please i want to understand this question :)
thank u drwls for the answer :)
There are 1000 kilograms in a metric ton.
1000 = 10^3
10^27 metric tons * 10^3 = 10^30 kilograms
I hope this helps. Thanksfor asking.
To understand the question, we need to know the conversion between kilograms and metric tons.
There are 1000 kilograms in one metric ton. This means that if you have 1 metric ton, it is equal to 1000 kilograms.
So, if the mass of the sun is about 10^30 kilograms, and we know that 1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kilograms, we can calculate the mass of the sun in metric tons.
To do this, we divide the mass of the sun (10^30 kilograms) by the conversion factor of 1000 kilograms per metric ton.
Therefore, the mass of the sun in metric tons would be (10^30 kilograms) / (1000 kilograms/metric ton), which simplifies to 10^(30-3) metric tons, or 10^27 metric tons.
In summary, there are 1000 kilograms in one metric ton, so to convert kilograms to metric tons, you divide the number of kilograms by 1000.
