Question

The radius of the earth is approximately 3950 miles. The radius of Jupiter is approximately 44,400 miles. Since the radius of Jupiter is more than 11 times that of the earth, which comes closest to the volume of Jupiter ?

Answer 1

Given a linear scale factor, the volume scale factor will be given as:
volume scale factor=(linear scale factor)^3
linear scale factor=11
volume scale factor=11^3=1,331
thus we conclude that the volume of Jupiter is 1,331 times the volume of earth
