Answer: 2000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The mass of Saturn = [tex]5.685\times10^{32}[/tex]

The mass of Mercury = [tex]3.302 \times 10{^29}[/tex]

Now, the number of times the Saturn's mass is greater than Mercury's mass is given by :-

[tex]n=\dfrac{5.685\times10^{32}}{3.302 \times 10{^29}}\\\\=\dfrac{5.685}{3.302}\times10^{32-29}\\\\=1.72168382798\atimes10^{3}\\\\=1721.68382798\approx2000[/tex]

Hence, the Saturn's mass is 2000 times greater than Mercury's mass.
