Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441×104 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the difference in radius between Earth and Jupiter, we subtract Earth's radius from Jupiter's radius:

Jupiter's radius - Earth's radius = (4.3441×10^4) miles - 3,959 miles = 4.3441×10^4 - 3.959 × 10^3 = 4.348 × 10^4 - 3.959 × 10^3 = 4.3441 × 10^4 - 3.959 × 10^3 = 4.348 × 10^4 - 3.959 × 10^3 = 4.348 × 10^4

So, Jupiter's radius is approximately 4.348 × 10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
