Question

The volume of Jupiter is approximately 10^14 cubic km. The volume of Earth is approximately 10^11 cubic km. How many planets the size of Earth does it take to equal the volume of Jupiter?

A. 10^3

b. 10^-3

c. 10^25

Answer 1

10³ numbers.

Explanation:

In the question, it is given that, the volume of Jupiter planet is approximately 10¹⁴ cubic km.

This is also given that the volume of Earth planet is approximately 10¹¹ cubic km.

Therefore, the volume of Jupiter is 10¹⁴/10¹¹ =10³ times more than the volume of Earth,

So, 10³ numbers of planets of the size of Earth will be taken to equal the volume of Jupiter. (Answer)

Hence, option A. is correct.
