Problem 4. Physical Features of the Giant Planets: Volume and Density of Jupiter (Palen, et. al. 1st Ed. Chapter 8 Problem 57 )
Jupiter is an oblate (Links to an external site.) planet with an average radius of 69,900 km, compared to Earth’s average radius of 6,370 km.
How many Earth volumes could fit inside Jupiter?
Jupiter is 318 times as massive as the Earth. How does Jupiter’s density compare (Links to an external site.) to that of Earth?
Conclusion(s) and evidence from investigation:
1. What is the relationship between mass and gravity?
2. How is mass and gravity relevant to the formation of the solar system? (think about the sun)
3. Describe the shape of the solar system.
4. Describe the composition (what it is made of) of the solar system.
5. Describe the revolution (orbit) of the solar system.
6. Identify an anomaly (doesn't match the rest) in the data and propose an explanation for it.
7. What were some patterns you found in the columns? List at least 2.
8. Which is the best evidence that the solar system was created from accretion?
Explain why. (There may be more than 1!)

Ty-ped answer please.arrow_forwardWe need to create a scale model of the solar system (by shrinking the sun down to the size of a basketball or ~30cm). First, we will need to scale down actual solar system dimensions (planet diameters and average orbital radiuses) by converting our units. There are two blank spaces in the table below. We will effectively fill in the missing data in the next set of questions. Use the example below to help you. Example: What is the scaled diameter of Mercury if the Sun is scaled to the size of a basketball (30 cm)? The actual diameter of Mercury is 4879 km The Sun's diameter is 1392000 km If the Sun is to be reduced to the size of a basketball, then the conversion we need for this equation will be: 30cm1392000km Here is how we run the conversion: 4879km×30cm1392000km=0.105cm or 0.11cm if we were to round our answer. This means that if the sun in our model is the size of a basketball, Mercury is the size of a grain of sand.
