Question

Jupiter has a mass of 1.898 x 1027 kg and mass of Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg.
Approximately how much greater is Jupiter's mass than Earth's?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Masse Jupiter = 1.898 x 10²⁷   OR 18.98 x 10²⁶

Mass Saturn = 5.68 x 10²⁶

Difference of Masses = Jupiter - Saturne  OR 1.898 x 10²⁷ - 5.68 x 10²⁶

In order to be able to proceed to the subtraction, both exponents of 10 should be equal, the Mass of Jupiter 1.898 x 10²⁷   OR 18.98 x 10²⁶

Now 18.98 x 10²⁶ - 53.68 x 10²⁶ ==> (18.98 - 5.68) x 10²⁶ ===>

Masses = Jupiter - Saturne  = 13.3 x 10²⁶  OR 1.33 x 10²⁷
