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]
