The mass of Pluto is about 1.310x10^19 metric tons. The mass of the Sun is about 1.998x10^27 metric tons.
About how many times the mass of Pluto is the mass of the Sun?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the_mass_of_Pluto%2Fthe_mass_of_the_Sun = 1.310x10%5E19%2F1.998x10%5E27 = %281.310%2F1.998%29x10%5E%28-%2827-19%29%29 = 0.656%2A10%5E%28-8%29. 

Notice: According to the Wikipedia article, the mass of the Sun is 1.988^10^27 metric tons.
