the radius of the planet Saturn is 6.03 x 10^7 m and its mass is 5.68 x 10^26 kg.
a. Find the density of Saturn (its mass divided by its volume) in grams per cubic centimeter.
b. Find the surface area of Saturn in square meters. (The surface area of a sphere is given by 4pir^2).

\[Surface area = 4 \pi r^2\]
sub r in metres, then you'll get 4.5692 x 10^16 m^2

wait wait hold on i made a mistake on (a)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ρ=\frac{ mass }{ volume }\]
\[V=\frac{ 4 }{3}πr^3\]
find volume first : substitute values of r then you'll get
9.1842 x 10^-29
5.68 x 10^26 kg is 5.68 x 10^29 g
then sub into density formula = sub mass n vol, then you'll get
1.6169 g cm^-3

book says 0.618 gm/cm^3
