When approximating the mass of a nebula, the most appropriate reference system would be "thousands of times the mass of our Sun." Nebulae typically contain a significant amount of gas and dust, and their masses are often comparable to or greater than the mass of the Sun. Therefore, the option that captures this scale is the best choice.
