Question

Part A:The Radius of earth = 6,378,100 metersThe radius of earth in single-digit number multiplied bypower of 10.Step by step solution:R= 6.378.100 metersR= 6.3781 × 10^6Part B:The radius of Saturn is approximately 6x10^7 meters. Use the answer from Part A to estimate how many times greater the radius of Saturn is than the radius of Earth. Show or explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Radius of earth }=6.3781*10^6 \\ \\ \text{ Radius of Saturn }=6*10^7 \end{gathered}`

Find-:

How many times greater the radius of Saturn is than the radius of Earth

Explanation:-

Let "x" times greater than the radius of Saturn is than the radius of Earth

So,

`\begin{gathered} 6*10^7=x*6.3781*10^6 \\ \\ x=(6*10^7)/(6.3781*10^6) \\ \\ x=(6*10)/(6.3781) \\ \\ x=9.407 \end{gathered}`

So Saturn's radius is 9.407 times greater than the radius of the earth.
