Earths radius is approximately 3959 miles while Jupiters radius is 4.3441 X 10^4. How much bigger is jupiters radius compared to earths

Answer 1

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

1. Earth's radius: \( R_{Earth} = 3959 \) miles
2. Jupiter's radius: \( R_{Jupiter} = 4.3441 \times 10^4 \) miles

Now calculate the ratio:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{R_{Jupiter}}{R_{Earth}} = \frac{4.3441 \times 10^4}{3959} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Ratio} \approx \frac{43441}{3959} \approx 10.96 \]

Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 10.96 times bigger than Earth's radius.
