\cfrac{\stackrel{ Sun }{2* 10^(30)}}{\underset{ Earth }{6* 10^(24)}}\implies \cfrac{2}{6}*\cfrac{10^(30)}{10^(24)}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}* 10^(30)10^(-24)\implies \cfrac{1}{3}* 10^(30-24) \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{3}* 10^6\implies \cfrac{10^6}{3}\implies \cfrac{1000000}{3}\implies 333333.\overline{33}\qquad \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times more massive}\\ \textit{than the Earth} \end{array}
