Answer: C

The volume of the sun is approximately one thousand times the volume of Jupiter.

Marley Flynn · Answer 2

C. The volume of the sun is approximately one thousand times the volume of Jupiter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the sun is approximately 1 * 10^18 cu km, while the volume of Jupiter is approximately 1 * 10^15 cu km.

We can take the ratios of the volumes of Sun to Jupiter.

Volume of Sun / Volume of Jupiter = (1 * 10^18 cu km) / (1 * 10^15 cu km)

Volume of Sun / Volume of Jupiter = 1000.

Volume of sun = 1000 x Volume of Jupiter.
