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 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.
The next largest TNO moon is Orcus' moon Vanth at 442.5 ± 10.2 km and a poorly constrained (87 ± 8) × 10 18 kg, with an albedo of about 8%. Ceres, generally accepted as a dwarf planet, is added for comparison. Also added for comparison is Triton, which is thought to have been a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt before it was captured by Neptune.
All planets listed are smaller than Earth and Venus, up to 0.7 Earth radii. The NASA Exoplanet Archive is used as the main data source. [1] [2] Extrasolar planetesimal. Likely a remnant iron core. Radius is in the range of 1.2 – 120 km. [3] Disintegrating planetesimal, likely one of several orbiting its star.
Below are lists of the largest stars currently known, ordered by radius and separated into categories by galaxy. The unit of measurement used is the radius of the Sun (approximately 695,700 km; 432,300 mi ). [1] The Sun, the orbit of Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune, compared to four stars. ( Pistol Star, Rho Cassiopeiae, Betelgeuse, and VY Canis ...
The planets as known during classical antiquity: the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. A planet or even a superhabitable planet with conditions to be compared with those found on Earth. A planet or similar body whose existence is not proven, but is believed by some to exist.
Super-Earth. Illustration of the inferred size of the super-Earth CoRoT-7b (center) in comparison with Earth and Neptune. A Super-Earth is a type of exoplanet with a mass higher than Earth 's, but substantially below those of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which are 14.5 and 17 times Earth's, respectively. [1] The term ...
Kepler-37b. Kepler-37b is a sub-Earth, an exoplanet with a radius and mass smaller than Earth. Its equilibrium temperature is 718 K (445 °C; 833 °F). [2] Because of its small size, it is not expected to have an atmosphere. [6] Its radius is approximately 0.31 R🜨 (about 1,980 kilometres (1,230 mi)), [2] slightly larger than the Moon [7] (0. ...
