    The gravitational effect on other bodies determines the weight (or the mass) of a planet. We must somehow measure the strength of its "tug" on another object in order to use gravity to find the mass of a planet. We can harness Newton's equations to deduce what the mass of the planet must be through observing the time it takes for the satellite to orbit its primary planet.

    Given:

    Mass of Venus = 4.87 x 1024 kg

    = 4986.88

    Mass of Jupiter = 1.898 x 1024 kg

    = 1943.552

    Mass of Jupiter compared to mass of Venus

    1943.552 / 4986.88

    = 0.3897330595482546

    = 0.3897330595482546 x 100%

    = 38.97%

    So, in this problem, the mass of Jupiter is about 0.39 times the mass of Venus.
