The masses of two celestial bodies are $4.98 \times 10^{21}$ kg and $10^{19}$ kg. Find the ratio of their masses.

Given :

The masses of two celestial bodies are $4.98 \times 10^{21}$ kg and $10^{19}$ kg. 

To do :

We have to find the ratio of their masses.

Solution :

The masses of two celestial bodies are $4.98 \times 10^{21}$ kg and $10^{19}$ kg. 

The ratio of their masses $=4.98 \times 10^{21} kg : 10^{19} kg$

                                            $= 4.98 \times 10^{19} \times 10^2 : 10^{19}$

                                            $= 4.98 \times 10^2 : 1$

                                           $= 498:1$

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of the celestial bodies is  $498:1$.
