"Its supposed to use Math.pow to find circumference,radius,and diamete"

In his own words. I know nothing about Java, so, i can't say, can you?

Well here he doesnt seem to be using the Math class's pow() method. Also, tell him to use an ArrayList for the planets. :p

boom boom pow

• Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument.

Same goes for all the other things you need ;-)

Thank you too. I'll show him.
