Question 158

Question. 158

Radius of Earth = 6400 km, Radius of Mars = 4300 km. Whose radius is bigger and by how much?

Answer:

Earth’s radius is bigger by 2100 km.

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Write the given radii.

\( R_{\text{Earth}} = 6400\ \text{km} \)

\( R_{\text{Mars}} = 4300\ \text{km} \)

Step 2: Decide which number is larger.

\( 6400 > 4300 \), so Earth’s radius is larger.

Step 3: Find how much larger.

Difference \(= R_{\text{Earth}} - R_{\text{Mars}} \)

\( = 6400 - 4300 \)

\( = 2100 \)

Conclusion:

Earth’s radius is larger by \( 2100\ \text{km} \).
