For the following questions, use the data found in Appendix D. Calculate the mass (in kg) of the Sun based on data for Saturn's orbit. (Use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N. m2/kg? in your calculations. Round your answer to at least four significant figures.) kg Compare the above calculated value with the Sun's actual mass. (Round your answer to at least three decimal places.) mcalculated = mactual
