Estimate how many Earth volumes fit inside a spherical planet from its radius ratio.
Formula
Volume ratio = Radius ratio³
- For spherical bodies, volume scales with the cube of radius. Enter a radius measured in Earth radii.
- The main inputs are Radius. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Planet Volume vs Earth
Inputs
- Radius: 2 Earth radii
A planet with 2 Earth radii has 8 times Earth’s volume.

Frequently asked questions
What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates volume relative to Earth from radius alone.
Is this an exact mission-planning tool?
No. It is an educational calculator based on the stated constants and simplified assumptions.
How accurate is the result?
The model treats both bodies as spheres; real planets are slightly oblate.
What does the Planet Volume vs Earth calculate?
Estimate how many Earth volumes fit inside a spherical planet from its radius ratio.
Which values should I enter?
Enter Radius using the units and format shown beside each field.
What formula does this calculator use?
The calculator uses the following relationship: Volume ratio = Radius ratio³.
