* The Sun is HUGE: It's a star, and stars are massive.
* Jupiter is a giant: It's the largest planet in our solar system, but it's still dwarfed by the Sun.
Here's a visual comparison:
* Diameter of the Sun: About 865,000 miles (1,392,000 kilometers)
* Diameter of Jupiter: About 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers)
To put it simply: You could fit about 1,000 Jupiters side-by-side across the diameter of the Sun!
Another way to think about it:
* If the Sun were a basketball, Jupiter would be about the size of a golf ball.
This gives you an idea of just how much larger the Sun is compared to Jupiter.
