Jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 x 10^4 miles and Earth's radius is approximately 3.959 x 10^3 miles. To determine how much larger Jupiter's radius is, you must divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
So you have (4.3441 x 10^4) / (3.959 x 10^3)
We can simplify using scientific notation by subtracting the exponents:
= 4.3441/3.959 x 10^(4-3) = 1.09725 x 10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is about 1.09725 x 10^1 times larger than Earth's radius.
earths radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 x 10^4 miles. how much bigger is jupiter's radius compared to earths? express your answer in scientific notation. do not round your answer.
