Differbetween
Earth's has a mean radius of 6,371 km (3,958.8 mi), and a mass of 5.97 × 1024 kg, whereas Jupiter has a mean radius of 69,911 ± 6 km (43441 mi) and a mass of 1.8986×1027 kg. In short, Jupiter is almost 11 times the size of Earth, and just under 318 times as massive.

How is Earth and Jupiter different?
They are two different kinds of planets. Jupiter is a gas giant with no discernible solid surface, while Earth is a terrestrial planet. Jupiter's primary atmosphere consists of hydrogen and helium, while Earth's atmosphere is composed of a mix of oxygen and nitrogen and other chemicals.
Is Jupiter stronger than Earth?
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet in the solar system. Its mean radius, at 69,911 ± 6 km, makes it 10.97 the times the size of Earth, while its mass (1.8986×1027 kg) is the equivalent of 317.8 Earths.
How big is Earth vs Jupiter?
Size and Distance
With a radius of 43,440.7 miles (69,911 kilometers), Jupiter is 11 times wider than Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Jupiter would be about as big as a basketball. From an average distance of 484 million miles (778 million kilometers), Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun.
What does Jupiter have that Earth doesn t?
Jupiter is a gas giant and so lacks an Earth-like surface. If it has a solid inner core at all, it's likely only about the size of Earth.
Does Jupiter have oxygen?
Jupiter is made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas. So, trying to land on it would be like trying to land on a cloud here on Earth. There's no outer crust to break your fall on Jupiter. ... First things first, Jupiter's atmosphere has no oxygen.
Can we live on Jupiter?
A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.
How many Earths can fit inside Jupiter?
More than 1,300 Earths would fit inside Jupiter. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun.
What is Jupiter known for?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and is the fifth planet out from the Sun. It is two and a half times more massive than all the other planets in the solar system combined. It is made primarily of gases and is therefore known as a “gas giant”.
On which planet would you feel the heaviest?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with the most mass. Because of Jupiter's mass, you would weigh more on that planet than on any other one in our Solar System. If you weighed 68 kg on Earth then you would weigh 160.7 kg on Jupiter, over twice your normal weight.
How many rings does Jupiter have?
Jupiter is known to have 4 sets of rings: the halo ring, the main ring, the Amalthea gossamer ring, and the Thebe gossamer ring. The halo ring is closest into Jupiter starting at a radius of 92,000 km and extending out to a radius of 122,500 km.
What color is the Jupiter?
: The color of Jupiter is yellow or yellowish orange.
Why is Jupiter so heavy?
Density, mass and volume
Known as a gas giant, Jupiter is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. It weighs in at 1.9 x 1027 kilograms. Although it is significantly more massive than Earth, it is only a fifth as dense, at 1,326 kg/m3, because it is made of gas rather than rock.
