Answer:

Scientific notation: 10ยน

Integer: 10

The average radius of the sun is 10 times greater than the average

Step-by-step explanation:

The average radius of Jupiter:


R_J=4.34*10^4miles_{}_{}

The average radius of the sun:


R_s=4.32*10^5miles

The ratio of the two Radii


(R_s)/(R_J)=(4.32*10^5)/(4.34*10^4)
\begin{gathered} (R_s)/(R_J)=0.995*10 \\ (R_s)/(R_J)=9.95 \\ (R_s)/(R_J)=10\text{ (to the nearest integer)} \end{gathered}

The average radius of the sun is 10 times greater than the average
