Question

The average radius of Jupiter is 4.34 x 10^4 miles. The average sun radius of the sun is 4.32 x 10^5. How many times greater is the average radius of the sun?

Answer 1

Answer:

The average radius of sun is approximately 9.95 times the average radius of Jupiter.                                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Average radius of Jupiter =

$4.34\times 10^{4}\text{ miles}$

Average radius of the sun =

$4.32\times 10^{5}$

Relation between average radius of sun and average radius of Jupiter =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Average radius of Sun}}{\text{Average radius of Jupiter}}\\\\= \frac{4.32\times 10^{5}}{4.34\times 10^{4}}\\\\\displaystyle\frac{\text{Average radius of Sun}}{\text{Average radius of Jupiter}} = 9.953917\\\\\text{Average radius of Sun} \approx 9.95\times \text{(Average radius of Jupiter)}$

Thus, the average radius of sun is approximately 9.95 times the average radius of Jupiter.
