Question 353452: Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system with a diameter of 142,796 km. Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system with a diameter of 2500 km. Assuming these planets to be roughly spherical, how many time greater is the volume of Jupiter than the volume of Pluto?
Do I first find the surface area of the each sphere? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
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.
Jupiter diameter = 142796 km
radius = 71398 km
Pluto diameter = 2500 km
radius = 1250 km
...
(71398)^3/ (1250)^3
= 186,349 times bigger
