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.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to subtract Earth's radius from Jupiter's radius.
Jupiter's radius: 4.3441×104 miles
Earth's radius: 3,959 miles
Subtracting these two values, we get:
Jupiter's radius - Earth's radius = 4.3441×104 miles - 3,959 miles
To express the answer in scientific notation, we need to make sure the decimal point is after the first non-zero digit. Rearranging the numbers, we have:
4.3441×104 - 3,959 = 4.3441×104 - 3.959×103
Now we can subtract the two values:
4.3441×104 - 3.959×103 = 4.3441×104 - 0.003959×104
Next, we can combine the terms with the same powers of 10:
4.3441×104 - 0.003959×104 = (4.3441 - 0.003959) × 104
Calculating the subtraction:
4.3441 - 0.003959 = 4.340141
Finally, expressing the answer in scientific notation:
(4.3441 - 0.003959) × 104 = 4.340141 × 104
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 4.340141 × 104 miles larger than Earth's.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can simply divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
Jupiter's radius = 4.3441×10^4 miles
Earth's radius = 3,959 miles
The ratio of Jupiter's radius to Earth's radius can be calculated as follows:
Ratio = Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius
Ratio = (4.3441×10^4 miles) / (3,959 miles)
To divide the numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, and then divide the coefficients:
Ratio = (4.3441 / 3.959) × 10^(4 - 0) miles
Simplifying this expression gives us:
Ratio = 1.097 × 10^4 miles
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is 1.097 × 10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
