Respuesta :

11.8 times the mass of venus

Ans: The mass of Jupiter is about 0.389 times the mass of Venus.

Given:

Mass of Venus, Mv  = [tex]4.87*10^{24} kg[/tex]

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = [tex]1.898*10^{24} kg[/tex]

To determine:

The mass of jupiter relative to that of venus

Explanation:

Based on the given data

[tex]\frac{Mv}{Mj} = \frac{4.87*10^{24} }{1.898*10^{24} } =2.57[/tex]

[tex]Mj = \frac{Mv}{2.57}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]Mj = 0.389 Mv[/tex]
