Answer:
1000 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the mass of the sun is about \(2\times 10^{27}\) metric tons or \(2\times 10^{30}\) kilograms. We are asked to find the number of kilograms in one metric ton.
To find the number of kilograms in one metric ton, we will divide \(2\times 10^{30}\) by \(2\times 10^{27}\) kilograms.
\(\text{1 metric ton}=\frac{2\times 10^{30}}{2\times 10^{27}}\)
Using exponent property \(\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}\), we will get:
\(\text{1 metric ton}=\frac{2\times 10^{30-27}}{2}\)
\(\text{1 metric ton}=1\times 10^{3}\)
\(\text{1 metric ton}=1000\)
Therefore, 1 metric equals 1000 kg.
