earth's radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 * 10^4 miles. how much bigger is jupiter's radius compared to earth's? express your answer in scientific notation.

1 answer

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

Jupiter's radius: 4.3441 * 10^4 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles

Therefore, Jupiter's radius is (4.3441 * 10^4) / (3,959) times bigger than Earth's radius.

To express the answer in scientific notation, we divide the two numbers:

(4.3441 * 10^4) / (3,959) = 1.097 * 10^1

So, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.097 * 10^1 times bigger than Earth's radius.
