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

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

To divide these quantities, we need to divide the numerical parts and subtract the exponents.

(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles) = 4.3441 / 3.959 × 10^4/10^0

Simplifying the fractions gives us:

= (4.3441 / 3.959) × 10^(4-0)

= 1.095 × 10^4

Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.095 × 10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate again.

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

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

To divide these quantities, we need to divide the numerical parts and subtract the exponents.

(4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles) = 4.3441 / 3.959 × 10^(4-3,959)

Simplifying the fractions gives us:

= 1.096 × 10^(4 - 3,959)

Now, let's subtract the exponents:

= 1.096 × 10^(-3,955)

Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.096 × 10^(-3,955) times bigger than Earth's radius.
