  • Jupiter vs. the Sun: A Size Comparison Explained
    Jupiter is tiny compared to the Sun.

    Here's a way to visualize it:

    * Imagine the Sun as a basketball.

    * Jupiter would be the size of a golf ball.

    In numbers:

    * The Sun's diameter is about 109 times the diameter of Jupiter.

    * The Sun's volume is about 1,300 times the volume of Jupiter.

    It's easy to get tricked by pictures, as Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but the Sun is truly a massive star!
