Saul Levy, a poster from the astronomy newsgroup got the answer wrong.
I have to repeat the question:
The Earth-size is 3,959 mi radius.
if I mutiply that number by 2,
2 x 3,959 mi radius = 7,918 mi "radius"
The question now is: Is 7,918 mi radius Earth-size? Yes or No??
Now for Saul Levy, here is the definition of radius:
ra·di·us
'rade?s/
noun
noun: radius; plural noun: radii; plural noun: radiuses
1.
a straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.
The distance from the center to the edge of a circle. It is half of the circle's diameter.
I have to repeat the question:
The Earth-size is 3,959 mi radius.
if I mutiply that number (the earth radius) by 2,
2 x 3,959 mi radius = 7,918 mi "radius"
The question now is: Is 7,918 mi radius Earth-size? Yes or No??
Or in other words, a planet with a radius of 7,918 mi, is it Earth-size? Yes or No??
Is this question too tough for yous?
