Earths radius is approximately 3959 miles while jupiters radius is approximately 4.3441*10 to the power of 4 miles how much bigger is jupiters radius compares to earths? Answer in scientific notation

To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.

Jupiter's radius: \( 4.3441 \times 10^4 \) miles
Earth's radius: \( 3959 \) miles

First, we convert Earth's radius to scientific notation:

\[
3959 \approx 3.959 \times 10^3 \text{ miles}
\]

Now, we can calculate the ratio:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Jupiter's radius}}{\text{Earth's radius}} = \frac{4.3441 \times 10^4}{3.959 \times 10^3}
\]

This can be simplified by dividing the coefficients and subtracting the exponents:

First, divide the coefficients:

\[
\frac{4.3441}{3.959} \approx 1.0966
\]

Next, divide the powers of ten:

\[
10^4 / 10^3 = 10^{4 - 3} = 10^1
\]

Now, combine the results:

\[
\text{Ratio} \approx 1.0966 \times 10^1
\]

To express this in scientific notation, we can write it as:

\[
1.0966 \times 10^1 \approx 1.0966 \times 10^1 \text{ (this is the result in scientific notation)}
\]

**Final result:** Jupiter's radius is approximately \( 1.0966 \times 10^1 \) times bigger than Earth's radius, which can also be rounded to \( 1.1 \times 10^1 \) for simplicity.
