Question

The mass of Venus is 4.87 × 1024 kilograms, and the mass of Jupiter is 1,898 × 1024 kilograms. The mass of Jupiter is about ____ times the mass of Venus. NextReset

Answer 1

Ans: The mass of Jupiter is about 0.389 times the mass of Venus.

Given:

Mass of Venus, Mv  = $4.87*10^{24} kg$

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = $1.898*10^{24} kg$

To determine:

The mass of jupiter relative to that of venus

Explanation:

Based on the given data

$\frac{Mv}{Mj} = \frac{4.87*10^{24} }{1.898*10^{24} } =2.57$

$Mj = \frac{Mv}{2.57}$

i.e. $Mj = 0.389 Mv$

Answer 2

11.8 times the mass of venus
