Dear Wiki Questioner,
Since the planets are relatively nice spheres, we can use the equation for the volume of a sphere to calculate the volume of a planet given its radius:
V=(4/3) x pi x R^3
Where V is the volume of our planet
pi is approximately 3.14159
and R is the radius of our planet
For earth, Ve=(4/3) x pi x Re^3
For Jupiter, Vj=(4/3) x pi x (11Re)^3=(4/3) x pi x 1331 xRe^3=1331*Ve
So the Volume of Jupiter is 1331 time the volume of Earth. The ratio of their volumes can be expressed as 1331/1 or 1331:1

How many earth can Jupiter accommodate if the radius of Jupiter is 11 times the radius of the earth?
Approx 1000 earths would fit into Jupiter
Mercury's radius is what percent of Jupiter's radius?
Mercury's radius is 0.3825 that of Earth Jupiter's radius is 11.209 that of Earth So: (0.3825/11.209)*100 = 3.41 percent.
How many Pluto's fit in Jupiter?
The volume of Jupiter is 1,321.3 Earth volumes. The volume of Pluto is 0.007 Earth volumes. So 1321.3/0.007=188757.1 Plutos can fit inside Jupiter.
How many Plutos can fit into the earth?
none Jupiter is larger than earth----Whilst it is true that Jupiter is large than the earth ( a lot larger!) it's not important hereAbout 170 Plutos would fit into the Earth (using the relative volumes to calculate)For completeness about 1320 Earths fit into Jupiter so 224400 Plutos would fit into Jupiter.Did we mention Jupiter is pretty big? And Pluto pretty small?
What is Jupiter's size and mass compared to Earth?
Jupiter has about 300 times the mass of Earth and about ten times Earth's radius. Estimate the size of g on the surface of Jupiter
Can you calculate the volumes of the Earth and the Moon?
Based on what? If you know the radius, you can use the formula for a sphere - which is a good approximation in the case of Earth and Moon.
How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
How many earth can Jupiter accommodate if the radius of Jupiter is 11 times the radius of the earth?
Approx 1000 earths would fit into Jupiter
Mercury's radius is what percent of Jupiter's radius?
Mercury's radius is 0.3825 that of Earth Jupiter's radius is 11.209 that of Earth So: (0.3825/11.209)*100 = 3.41 percent.
How many Pluto's fit in Jupiter?
The volume of Jupiter is 1,321.3 Earth volumes. The volume of Pluto is 0.007 Earth volumes. So 1321.3/0.007=188757.1 Plutos can fit inside Jupiter.
What is the radis of Jupiter?
Jupiter has about 11 times the diameter (or radius) of Earth. Wikipedia lists its radius as: Equatorial radius: 71,492 ± 4 km Polar radius: 66,854 ± 10 km Note that there is quite a big difference between the two; since Jupiter rotates quite fast, it is "stretched out" in the horizontal direction.
How big is Jupiter to the sun and earth?
Jupiter is bigger than the earth, but smaller than the sun.Jupiter has a radius about 11 times longer than Earth's, and roughly 10 times less than the Sun's.

How many times is the suns radius bigger than earths surface?
109 Actually, no. 109 would probably be for Jupiter. For Earth, hundreds of Earth's surface could fit in the sun's radius.
How big is Jupiter to earth?
Jupiter has an estimated mass of 1,898,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kg. Earth has an estimated mass of 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kg. Jupiter is 317.83 times more massive than Earth. http://nssdc.gsfc.NASA.gov/planetary/factsheet/jupiterfact.html
What is Jupiter's equator in kilometers?
The equatorial radius of Jupiter is 71,492 kilometres ± 4 (over 11 times that of earth), so the equator measures about 449,200 kilometres
Can you calculate the volumes of Earth and the Moon?
If you want an approximate answer, we can assume the Earth and the Moon to be spheres, then go google for their radii, and plug that in the formula for volume of a sphere,V=(4/3)*pi*(radius)^3. Volume of Earth about 1.08321 x 10^12 km^3 Volume of Moon about 2.1958 x 10^10 km^3 The purpose of my answer was to explain how to calculate the volume not of just earth and moon, but any celestial object that can be approximated to a sphere, provided you know the radius. ps- I know the question is to tell the volume, not how to calculate it, but I thought the latter way of approaching the question would be more helpful!
