Given that the mass of the sun is 2.13525×1030 kilograms, and the mass of Mercury to be 3.285×1023 kilograms. We determine how many times greater the mass of the sun is relative to the mass of Mercury by getting the ratio of their respective masses. With this, we compute the ratio to be 2.13525×1030/3.285×1023 which is equal to 6500000. With this calculation, we can infer that the mass of the sun is 6.5x106 times greater than the mass of mercury.
