earth 1.08 x 10¹² rock
mars 1.63 x 10¹¹ rock
jupiter 1.43 x 10¹⁵ gas
saturn 8.27 x 10¹⁴ gas
uranus 6.83 x 10¹³ ice
neptune 6.25 x 10¹³ ice
is the following statement about our solar system true or false?
the volume of saturn is more than ten times the volume of uranus.
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Saturn's volume

Saturn's volume is $8.27\times 10^{14}\text{ km}^3$.

Step2: Identify Uranus's volume

Uranus's volume is $6.83\times 10^{13}\text{ km}^3$.

Step3: Calculate ten - times Uranus's volume

$10\times(6.83\times 10^{13})=(10\times6.83)\times 10^{13}=68.3\times 10^{13}=6.83\times 10^{14}\text{ km}^3$.

Step4: Compare

Since $8.27\times 10^{14}>6.83\times 10^{14}$, the volume of Saturn is more than ten times the volume of Uranus.

Answer:

true
