Assuming these planets to be roughly spherical, how many time greater is the volume of Jupiter than the volume of Pluto?\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when you compare volumes of spheres you have to take the ratio of the cube of their radii.
\n" ); document.write( "Jupiter diameter = 142796 km
\n" ); document.write( "radius = 71398 km
\n" ); document.write( "Pluto diameter = 2500 km
\n" ); document.write( "radius = 1250 km
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "(71398)^3/ (1250)^3
\n" ); document.write( "= 186,349 times bigger
\n" ); document.write( "...
