It is the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of 142,984 km (88,846 mi) at its equator, giving it a volume 1,321 times that of the Earth. [2] [43] Its average density, 1.326 g/cm 3, [d] is lower than those of the four terrestrial planets. [45] [46]
Relative masses of the Solar planets. Jupiter at 71% of the total and Saturn at 21% dominate the system. Relative masses of the solid bodies of the Solar System. Earth at 48% and Venus at 39% dominate. Bodies less massive than Pluto are not visible at this scale. Relative masses of the rounded moons of the Solar System.
The inner Solar System is the region comprising the terrestrial planets and the asteroids. [ 89 ] Composed mainly of silicates and metals, [ 90 ] the objects of the inner Solar System are relatively close to the Sun; the radius of this entire region is less than the distance between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn.
Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, according to NASA. Jupiter’s radius is over 11 times the equatorial radius of the Earth.
Giant planet. The four giant planets of the Solar System: (top) Jupiter and Saturn (gas giants) (bottom) Uranus and Neptune (ice giants) Shown in order from the Sun and in true color. Sizes are not to scale. A giant planet, sometimes referred to as a jovian planet (Jove being another name for the Roman god Jupiter), is a diverse type of planet ...
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun. It is the fourth-largest planet in the Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth and slightly more massive, but denser and smaller, than fellow ice giant Uranus.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant , with an average radius of about nine times that of Earth . [ 27 ] [ 28 ] It has an eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive.
U.S. customary. ≈ 4.1847 × 1027 pounds. The Jupiter mass, also called Jovian mass, is the unit of mass equal to the total mass of the planet Jupiter. This value may refer to the mass of the planet alone, or the mass of the entire Jovian system to include the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter is by far the most massive planet in the Solar System.
