Fill in the blanks. 1. Jupiter beats the Earth in almost every category. Its mass is about times Earth's, and its radius is a little over times that of Earth. It spins than Earth, taking a little under hours to complete a spin.
2. Although both planets are oblate - wider at the equator than the poles - Jupiter is more so because of its spin. It is about times farther away from the Sun than the Earth, and takes a little less than years to orbit the Sun once. Both planets have nearly circular orbits.
3. The category in which Earth "beats" Jupiter is in density; the Earth has more than times the density of Jupiter. This tells us that the two planets are made of very different materials: rock and metal for the Earth, and gasses and liquids for Jupiter.
