Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.A gas giant, Jupiter's mass is more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined and slightly less than one one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Jupiter orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 Gm) with an orbital period of 11.86 years.
The sizes are listed in units of Jupiter radii (71,492 km). All planets listed are larger than 1.7 times the size of the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter. Some planets that are smaller than 1.7 R J have been included for the sake of comparison.
Currently most of the objects of mass between 10 9 kg to 10 12 kg (less than 1000 teragrams (Tg)) listed here are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). The Aten asteroid 1994 WR12 has less mass than the Great Pyramid of Giza, 5.9 × 10 9 kg. For more about very small objects in the Solar System, see meteoroid, micrometeoroid, cosmic dust, and ...

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system, according to NASA. The planet is what’s known as a gas giant, which means it doesn’t have a solid surface — though it may have a solid core ...
Many TNOs in the size range of about 400–1000 km have oddly low densities, in the range of about 1.0–1.2 g/cm 3, that are substantially less than those of dwarf planets such as Pluto, Eris and Ceres, which have densities closer to 2. Brown has suggested that large low-density bodies must be composed almost entirely of water ice since he ...
Multiplanetary system with largest range of semi-major axis (largest difference between the star's nearest planet and its farthest planet) TYC 8998-760-1: b, c: 1 TYC 8998-760-1 b and c have a semi-major axis of 162 and 320 AU, respectively. The separation between closest and furthest is 158 AU. System with smallest total planetary mass Kepler-444
A super-Jupiter is a gas giant exoplanet that is more massive than the planet Jupiter. For example, companions at the planet– brown dwarf borderline have been called super-Jupiters, such as around the star Kappa Andromedae. [1] By 2011 there were 180 known super-Jupiters, some hot, some cold. [2] Even though they are more massive than Jupiter ...
