Question 1032826: Earth has a radius of approximately 6400 kilometers, and Saturn has a radius of approximately
60,300 kilometers (assuming that the planets are spherical). (i) Compute the surface area and
volume for both planets. (ii) Which planet has the larger surface-area-to-volume ratio?
Answers:
A) (i) Surface area of Earth is about 5.15 × 108 square kilometers, volume of Earth is about
1.10 × 1012 cubic kilometers, surface area of Saturn is about 4.57 × 1010 square kilometers,
volume of Saturn is about 9.18 × 1014 cubic kilometers
(ii) Saturn has the larger surface-area-to-volume ratio.
B) (i) Surface area of Earth is about 4.57 × 1010 square kilometers, volume of Earth is about
9.18 × 1014 cubic kilometers, surface area of is about 5.15 × 108 square kilometers,
volume of Saturn is about 1.10 × 1012 cubic kilometers
(ii) Earth has the larger surface-area-to-volume ratio.
C) (i) Surface area of Earth is about 5.15 × 108 square kilometers, volume of Earth is about
