Answer:

  • Earth is 85.71 times heavier than moon
  • Jupiter is 333.33 times heavier than Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The mass of Earth is about 6 x 10^24 kilograms = e
  • The mass of the moon is about  7 x 10^ 22 kilograms = m
  • The mass of Jupiter is about 2 x 10^27 kilograms = j

The difference in mass

  • e/m = 6 x 10^24 / 7 x 10^ 22 = 600/7 = 85.71

Earth is 85.71 times heavier than moon

  • j/e = 2 x 10^27 / 6 x 10^24 = 2000/6 = 333.33

Jupiter is 333.33 times heavier than Earth
