Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441x10^4 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

To find the difference in radii between Jupiter and Earth, we subtract Earth's radius from Jupiter's radius: 4.3441x10^4 - 3,959 = 4.3041x10^4.

Thus, Jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3041x10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
