How many earths could fit in Jupiter?

Answer 1

Simple answer:

Jupiter is approximately 10 times the diameter of the Earth, so about 1,000 Earths would fit inside Jupiter.

More precise.

Jupiter is around 11.1 times the diameter of n Earth, so about 1,367 Earths would fit inside Jupiter.

Even more precise

The answer to your question depends upon exactly what you mean by "fit inside."

If you just mean "how many time larger, by volume" is Jupiter, the answer is straightforward.

You simple take the ratio of the radii of Jupiter and the Earth and cube it (i.e., multiply it by itself three times). Radius of Jupiter = 69911 km Radius of Earth = 6371 km 66911 ----- = 10.97 6371 10.97^3 = ~1320 So, the volume of the Earth would fit inside the volume of Jupiter about 1320 times.

However, if you wanted to "pack Earth-sized spheres inside" the volume of Jupiter, you need to account for the "empty space" between the spheres. It has been mathemtically shown that the densest possible packing of smaller spheres within a larger sphere only "wastes" about 25% of the space. So, this means that you could fit about 990 (1320x 0.75) Earth-size spheres within Jupiter.

Answer 2

Jupiter's volume is approximately 1,321.3 times Earth's, so assuming the Earths fill up all of the volume: 1,321.

Answer 3

I don't know really how many fit but my estimate is between 1,000 to 100,000,000,.That is my answer.

Answer 4

Approximately 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter, as Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system with a radius of about 69,911 kilometers.

Answer 5

1321.3
