A more precise estimate is $1.7374\times10^8$~cm.
\item {\it What is the Moon's mass?}
The Moon is made out of mostly the same stuff as the Earth, so $M_m = \rho_\oplus (4/3 \pi R_m^3) = 5.5 \times 4 \times (1.6\times 10^8)^3 = 9\times 10^{25}$~g, or about 1\% the mass of the Earth.
\end{enumerate}
