Question

× miles

Answer 1

To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to subtract the radius of Earth from the radius of Jupiter.

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

Subtracting Earth's radius from Jupiter's radius:

4.3441×10^4 miles - 3,959 miles = 4.3041×10^4 miles

Therefore, Jupiter's radius is 4.3041×10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
