The mass of a planet is about 73 % of the mass of Jupiter with the same radius. What is the approximate average density of the planet in g/cm3? The mass of Jupiter is 2 × 1027 kg and Jupiter’s radius is 71000.0 km. Ok. I used: density = M/4/3piR^3…but I am doing something wrong. I calculated mass of planet at 1.46×10^27 kg which I think is 73% of the Jupiter figure…and then radius of Jupiter at 7.1×10^4…then plug numbers but came up with 9.7 x 10^8 g/cm^3…which is wrong, but I don’t know WHY…Trying to learn this! Where did I go wrong…?
