Explanation / Answer

1) Uranus's radius =25,362 km

percentage of Earth’s radius is Uranus’s radius = (25,362/6378)*100 =397.64

The nearest one is 400 %

2)Mass of Uranus = 8.681*10^25 kg

Mass of earth = 5.972*10^24 kg

mass of Uranus in relation to Earth = 8.681*10^25/(5.972*10^24) =14.54

The nearest one is 14.558 Earth masses

3) 3.5 arcseconds

4) 19.218 au

5) 17.2400 hours

6) 17.2396 hours

7) 83.75 years
