Walk outside and have a look around. That is your world and it appears quite BIG, right? Now, realize that you are just looking at a small piece of Earth, and that the entire Earth is so small that 1,321 of them could fit into Jupiter! Feeling a little smaller now huh? Check out our Top 5 Biggest Planets list for more cool facts about some of our solar systems largest places.
1) Jupiter
Mass is 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined
About 1/10 the radius of the Sun
Theoretical models indicate that if Jupiter had much more mass than it does at present, it would shrink (due to increased pressure)
Radius: 69,911 km / 43,441 miles
1,120% the size of Earth
2) Saturn
Probably composed of a core of iron–nickel and rock
Has a ring system with nine continuous main rings and three discontinuous arcs and is mostly composed of ice particles
62 moons are known to orbit Saturn
Radius: 58,232 km / 36,184 miles
945% the size of Earth
3) Uranus
One of the Ice Giants because of its icy composition
Coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System
Has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons
Radius: 25,362 km / 15,759 miles
400% the size of Earth
4) Neptune
Farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System
Among the gaseous planets in the Solar System, Neptune is the most dense
In contrast to the relatively featureless atmosphere of Uranus, Neptune's atmosphere has active and visible weather patterns
Radius: 24,622 km / 15,299 miles
388% the size of Earth
5) Earth
Largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets
The only astronomical object known to accommodate life
Composed mostly of iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, sulfur, nickel, calcium, and aluminium
