The volume of the moon.
Also, the number of moons needed to create a volume equal to the volume of Earth.
Answer to Problem 51GP
Volume of the moon is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The diameter of the moon = 3480 km.
Formula used:
The volume of sphere is
Where, r is the radius of the sphere.
Calculation :
The moon is considered to be a sphere.
Diameter of the moon = 3480 km.
Radius of the moon is,
Therefore, the volume of the moon is
The radius of the Earth is 6371 km.
Therefore, the volume of Earth is,
To calculate the number moons required, divide the volume of the Earth by the volume of the moon.
So,
Conclusion:
Therefore, volume of Moon is
Also, 49 moons would be required to create a volume equal to that of the Earth.
