Question

use the data to answer the question below.
is the following statement about our solar system true or false?
earth is the largest planet that is made mainly of rock.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify rock - based planets

We look at the 'Primary composition' column for rock - based planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.

Step2: Compare volumes of rock - based planets

Mercury volume: $6.08\times 10^{10}$ $km^{3}$, Venus volume: $9.28\times 10^{11}$ $km^{3}$, Earth volume: $1.08\times 10^{12}$ $km^{3}$, Mars volume: $1.63\times 10^{11}$ $km^{3}$.

Step3: Determine the largest

Comparing the volumes, $1.08\times 10^{12}>9.28\times 10^{11}>1.63\times 10^{11}>6.08\times 10^{10}$. Earth has the largest volume among rock - based planets.

Answer:
