To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can calculate the ratio of Jupiter's radius to Earth's radius:
Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius = (4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
Simplifying the expression, we get:
(4.3441×10^4 / 3,959) miles
Converting this expression to scientific notation, we have:
1.0969×10^1 miles
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.0969×10^1 (or 10.969) times bigger than Earth's radius.
Earth’s radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while Jupiter’s radius is approximately 4.3441×104 miles. How much bigger is Jupiter’s radius compared to Earth’s? Express your answer in scientific notation. Do not round your answer.
