If the radius of the Earth is 6400.0 km and the atmosphere is 10.0 km high, then the volume of air around the Earth is A) 5.16 × 10¹⁸ m³. B) 3.605 × 10¹⁶ m³. C) 5.2 × 10¹⁸ m³. D) 5.1552 × 10⁹m³.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of air is the difference between the volume of the Earth with the atmosphere and the volume of the Earth alone. Using the formula for the volume of a sphere, V = 4/3 * π * r^3, and converting km to m, the volume of air is approximately 5.16 × 10^18 m^3.
