The radius of Jupiter is 71,492 km. The radius of the Earth is 6,378 km. Consider both planets to be perfect spheres. How many Earths could fit inside the volume of Jupiter?
Added by Laura R.
Step 1
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius. So, for Jupiter, we have: VJupiter = (4/3)π(71,492 km)^3 VJupiter ≈ 1.43 x 10^15 km^3 Show more…

Jupiter is an oblate planet with an average radius of $69,900 \mathrm{km},$ compared to Earth's average radius of $6,370 \mathrm{km}$. a. Given that volume is proportional to the cube of the radius, how many Earth volumes could fit inside Jupiter? b. Jupiter is 318 times as massive as Earth. Show that Jupiter's average density is about one-fourth that of Earth's.
