What is the total volume of the oort cloud, in cubic au? (hints: for the purpose of this calculation, you can assume the oort cloud fills the whole sphere out to 50000 au. the equation for the volume of a sphere is 43πr3 where r is the radius.)?

Formula for volume of sphere is:
[tex]V= \frac{4}{3} * r^{3} * \pi [/tex]

Now we insert
r=50000au
[tex]V= \frac{4}{3} * (50000au)^{3} * \pi \\ \\ V=523598775598298.87307710723054658 au^{3} \\ \\ V=5.2* 10^{14} au^{3}[/tex]

The volume of the oort cloud that is in the shape of sphere is [tex]\boxed{Volume = 5.2 \times {{10}^{14}}a{u^3}}.[/tex]

Further explanation:

The volume of the sphere is [tex]\boxed{V=\frac{4}{3}\left({\pi {r^3}}\right)}.[/tex]

Here, V is the volume and r is the radius of the sphere.

The surface area of the sphere is [tex]\boxed{S = 4\pi {r^2}}.[/tex]

Given:

The radius of the oort cloud is  [tex]r = 50000{\text{ au}}.[/tex]

Explanation:

The radius of the sphere is  [tex]r = 50000{\text{ au}}.[/tex]

The volume of the oort cloud can be calculated as follows,

[tex]\boxed{Volume=\frac{4}{3}\times\pi \times{{\left(r\right)}^3}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\dfrac{{22}}{7}[/tex] for [tex]\pi, 50000[/tex] for r in above equation to obtain the volume of oort cloud.

[tex]\begin{aligned}Volume &= \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times {\left( {50000} \right)^3}\\&=\frac{{88}}{{21}} \times 125\times {\left( {{{10}^4}} \right)^3}\\&= 523.8 \times {10^{12}}\\&= 5.238 \times {10^{14}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the oort cloud that is in the shape of sphere is  [tex]\boxed{Volume=5.2\times {{10}^{14}}a{u^3}}.[/tex]
