Question

The planets in our solar system can be modeled using spheres. The diameter of jupiter is 142984. The volume of saturn is 59.9% the volume of jupiter. what is saturn's diameter, in kilometers? round your answer to the nearest thousandth

Answer 1

The equatorial diameter of Saturn is 120,536 km and its polar diameter of Saturn is 108,728 km.

Answer 2

Saturn's diameter in Kilometers is 120530.34 km

Step-by-step explanation: ∛2.188765136e14

Vs(Volume of Saturn)

Vj(Volume of Jupiter)

r1 = d/2

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 π r³

Vs = 0.559 * Vj

4/3 π(r2)³ = 0.559[ 4/3 π(r1)³]

(r2)³ = 0.559[ 4/3 π(r1)³](3/4π)

(r2)³ = 0.559 (r1)³

(r2)³ = 0.559(142984/2)³

∛(r2)³ = ∛2.188765136e14

r2 = 60265.17

d2 = 2*r2

d2= 2(60265.17)

d2= 120530.34 km
