The correct response is: The mass of the Earth is about 80 times the mass of the moon.
To determine the mass of the Earth compared to the mass of the moon, we can look at their relative values. Based on the given options, we need to select the option that correctly states the mass comparison.
The first option states that the mass of the Earth is about 50 times the mass of the moon. This means that the mass of the Earth is 50 times greater than the mass of the moon. This option seems to be a correct answer.
The second option states that the mass of the Earth is about 80 times the mass of the moon. This option states a larger ratio compared to the first option, suggesting that the Earth is even more massive than the moon. However, this option does not match the given value of "1 point."
The third option states that the mass of the Earth is about 70 times the mass of the moon. This option also states a larger ratio compared to the first option but does not match the given value of "1 point."
The fourth option states that the mass of the Earth is about 40 times the mass of the moon. This option states a smaller ratio compared to the first option, suggesting that the Earth is less massive than the moon. However, this option does not match the given value of "1 point."
Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that the correct answer is the first option: "The mass of the Earth is about 50 times the mass of the moon."
The correct answer is:
The mass of the Earth is about 80 times the mass of the moon.
