bar graph with planets: mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune; y - axis labels: 0, 5000, 15000, 25000, 35000, 45000, 55000, 65000, 75000
according to the graph, which has a larger radius? select choice
according to the graph, what is the radius of saturn? select choice

Explanation:

First sub - question: What kind of graph is this?

The graph uses bars to represent the radii of different planets. A bar graph is characterized by the use of rectangular bars to show data values, where the length of each bar is proportional to the value it represents. In this case, each planet has a bar whose length corresponds to its radius. So this is a bar graph.

By visually inspecting the bar graph, we compare the lengths of the bars representing the radii of different planets. The bar for Jupiter is longer than the bars for other planets like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune etc. So Jupiter has a larger radius.

Step1: Identify Saturn's bar

Locate the bar corresponding to Saturn in the bar graph.

Step2: Read the radius value

From the x - axis scale (which has values like 0, 5000, 15000, 25000, 35000, 45000, 55000, 65000, 75000), the bar for Saturn ends at 60,000.

Answer:

B) bar

Second sub - question: According to the graph, which has a larger radius?

(We can compare the lengths of the bars for different planets. From the graph, Jupiter's bar is longer than the other planets' bars shown (except we are comparing to see which is larger, and Jupiter's bar length is greater than Saturn's, Uranus's, Neptune's etc. So Jupiter has a larger radius than the other planets in the comparison here. )
