The planet Jupiter is 28.66 times as large (big) as the planet Mercury.

Given the following data:

  • Circumference of mercury = 15329 km
  • Circumference of Jupiter = 439263 km

To find how many times larger is Jupiter than mercury;

In this exercise, you're required to find the number of times the planet Jupiter is as large (big) as the planet Mercury. In order to solve for this, we would divide the circumference of Jupiter by the circumference of mercury as follows:

[tex]Number\; of \;times = \frac{Circumference \;of \;Jupiter}{Circumference \;of \;Mercury}\\\\Number\; of \;times = \frac{439263}{15329}[/tex]

Number of times = 28.66 times.

Therefore, the planet Jupiter is 28.66 times as large (big) as the planet Mercury.
