    To find how approximately how many moons could fit inside the earth, you would need yo find the volumes the earth and the moon.

    V = 4/3 π r^3

    Earth:

    d = 2r

    d = 7926 miles

    7926 = 2r

    3963 miles = r

    V = 4/3 π (3963) ^3

    V = 4/3 π (62240377347)

    V = 82987169796π cubic miles

    Moon:

    d = 2r

    d = 2159 miles

    2159 = 2r

    1079.5 miles = r

    V = 4/3 π (1079.5) ^3

    V = 4/3 π (1257963209.88)

    V = 1677284279.83π cubic miles

    Now you divide the volume of earth by the volume of moon to find how many moons can fit in earth

    82987169796π : 1677284279.83π =

    approx 49

    Rounding to the nearest whole number, 49 moons can fit in the earth.

    Rounding to the tenth place, 50 moons can fit in the earth.
