Thanks to Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) who derived the formula for the volume
of a sphere to be V=%284%2F3%29pi%2Ar%5E3%29 where pi=3.14
if r=3900+mil, then
V=%284%2F3%29pi%2A%283900+mil%29%5E3%29
V=%284%2F3%293.14%2A%283900+mil%29%5E3%29
V=%284%2F3%293.14%2A%2859319000000mil%5E3%29
V=%284%2F3%29%28186261660000mil%5E3%29
V=%281.3333333333333333333333333333333%29%28186261660000mil%5E3%29
V=248348880000mil%5E3%29
