02. How big is Jupiter? Is it the largest planet? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
Jupiter is about 2.5 times more massive than all of the other planets in our solar system combined. It has a diameter eleven times greater than Earth's and a planetary volume of over 1300 times that of Earth's. While Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, scientists have recently discovered planets in other solar systems that are even bigger!
