    Inertia and Kinetic energy of the sun

    Inertia and Kinetic energy of the sun

    Homework Statement Ive been trying to find the Inertia and Kinetic energy of the sun. I have a feeling I am using the wrong formulas to obtain the answer. Mass of sun 2*10^30kg Radius of sun 700*10^6 m t spin = 26 days the answers should be I = 4.0 * 10^98 K energy = 1.5 * 10^16 Homework...
