    Gravity Surface
AI Thread Summary
Gravity is determined by mass, which warps the space-time fabric, but Jupiter, despite having a lower density, has a significantly greater mass than Earth. Jupiter's mass is approximately 1.898 × 10^27 kg, making it about 318 times more massive than Earth, which has a mass of 5.972 × 10^24 kg. The numbers 24 and 27 in the scientific notation indicate the number of zeros that follow the leading digits when expressed in standard form. Scientific notation simplifies the representation of large numbers, allowing for easier calculations and comparisons. Understanding these mass values clarifies why Jupiter exerts a stronger gravitational pull than Earth.

first thing first i want you to excuse me for my Grammar or spelling cause i am really bad at both !we know that what gives the thing gravity is the mass
the mass warp the space-time fabric
but Jupiter has a low mass than earth
how does it have all this amount of gravity
or the warping in the space fabric effects the surrounding area of the planet's gravity
i searched on google for the Earth mass and that's the number that came out
5.972 × 10^24 kg
while Jupiter is
1.898 × 10^27 kg
what is the number 24 and 27
and what is 5.972 and 1.898 ? does that is the mass number ?

##10^{24}## is an abbreviation, which means: ##10## multiplied with itself ##24## times. This results in a ##1## followed by ##24## zeroes: ##1000000000000000000000000##. So ##5.972 \cdot 10^{24}\, kg = 5972000000000000000000000 \, kg##. Jupiter's mass is accordingly. It is the same as in the notation of square miles as ##mi^2##. The notation sq.mi. belongs in the trash.

And to add to what's already been said:
Writing a number as 5.972 x 1024 is called "scientific notation" or "exponential notation". (10^24 is the same as 1024)
It is a shorthand way of dealing with very large or very small numbers without all the zeros ( a number like 0.000000003 would be written as 3.0 x 10-8)
Sometimes you will see this notation condensed even further as 5.972e24 where the "e" stands in for the "x 10^"

Thus, since the Earth's mass is 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, and Jupiter's is 1,898,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, Jupiter is about 318 times more massive than the Earth.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
