Can someone tell me what the mass of mars is compared to the earth? Mars mass is 6.39 × 10^23 and Earth mass is 5.972 × 10^24 thanks. :3
so earth is about ten times Mars you say. so what is the question?
59.72*10^23/6.39*10^23 = 9.35 Times Mass of mars.
Of course! To get the comparison between the mass of Mars and Earth, you need to divide the mass of Mars by the mass of Earth.
So, let's do the calculation:
Mars mass = 6.39 × 10^23 kg
Earth mass = 5.972 × 10^24 kg
To find the ratio, divide the mass of Mars by the mass of Earth:
6.39 × 10^23 kg / 5.972 × 10^24 kg
To simplify, divide both the numerator and denominator by 10^23:
(6.39 / 5.972) × 10^23 kg / 10^24 kg
Now simplify the fraction:
1.0678 × 10^0 kg / 10^1 kg
Simplify the powers of 10:
1.0678 × 10^0 / 10^1
Move the decimal point in 1.0678 one place to the left, and keep the same power of 10:
0.10678 × 10^0
Since 10^0 is equal to 1, this becomes:
0.10678
Therefore, the mass of Mars is about 0.10678 times the mass of Earth.
Hopefully, this explanation helped you understand how to compare the masses of Mars and Earth!
