Question

use the data to answer the question below. planet volume (km³) primary composition mercury 6.08 x 10¹⁰ rock venus 9.28 x 10¹¹ rock earth 1.08 x 10¹² rock mars 1.63 x 10¹¹ rock jupiter 1.43 x 10¹⁵ gas saturn 8.27 x 10¹⁴ gas uranus 6.83 x 10¹³ ice neptune 6.25 x 10¹³ ice is the following statement about our solar system true or false? jupiters volume is more than 1,000 times that of earth. true false

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Jupiter's volume

Jupiter's volume is $1.43\times 10^{15}\text{ km}^3$.

Step2: Identify Earth's volume

Earth's volume is $1.08\times 10^{12}\text{ km}^3$.

Step3: Calculate the ratio of Jupiter's volume to Earth's volume

Divide Jupiter's volume by Earth's volume: $\frac{1.43\times 10^{15}}{1.08\times 10^{12}}=\frac{1.43}{1.08}\times10^{15 - 12}\approx1.32\times10^{3}=1320$.

Step4: Compare with 1000

Since $1320> 1000$, Jupiter's volume is more than 1000 times that of Earth.

Answer:

true
