To find the difference in diameters between Uranus and Mercury, we subtract the diameter of Mercury from the diameter of Uranus:
Uranus diameter: 5.11 x 10^4 km
Mercury diameter: 4.88 x 10^3 km
Difference = (5.11 x 10^4) - (4.88 x 10^3)
= 51,100 km - 4,880 km
= 46,220 km
Therefore, the diameter of Uranus is 46,220 km greater than the diameter of Mercury.
The approximate diameters of Uranus and Mercury are listed below:
Uranus: 5, point, 1, 1, times, 10, to the power 45.11×10
4
kilometers
Mercury: 4, point, 8, 8, times, 10, cubed4.88×10
3
kilometers
