Largest planets in the solar system?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a diameter of about 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers). Saturn is the second-largest planet, with a diameter of about 72,367 miles (116,464 kilometers).
How many times bigger is the sun than the moon and all the planets put together?
The sun is approximately 400 times larger in diameter than the moon and about 330,000 times larger in mass than the Earth, making it significantly larger than all the planets combined.
What inner planets are similar to size and mass?
Venus has almost the same mass and diameter as the earth.
How do the sizes of the terrestrial planets compare to the gas giants?
The average terrestrial planet has only about 10.3% of the diameter and 0.4% of the mass of the average gas giant.
What planet is almost the same size as Uranus?
Neptune is almost the same size as Uranus. Both planets are similar in diameter, mass, and composition.
Why can't you determine the size of the planets?
But you CAN determine the size of the planets: in diameter, overall mass, and in density.
Does the sun give planets gravity?
No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.
Is Saturn half the size of the sun?
No, it is not.Saturn is the second largest of the planets, but nowhere near the diameter or mass of the sun.In fact, the mass of all the planets together is less than 1/500th of the sun's mass.
How do you calculate the mass given diameter and length?
You cannot. Diameter and length can, for some particular shapes, give you the volume. But that will not give you the mass unless you know the density of the substance.
What are the size of eight planets diameter and mass?
Mercury: diameter 4880 km mass 3.302e+23 kg Venus: diameter 12104 km mass 4.856e+24 kg Earth: diameter 12756 km mass 5.9742e+24 kg Mars: diameter 6796 km mass 6.419e+23 kg Jupiter: diameter 142984 km mass 1.899e+27 kg Saturn: diameter 120536 km mass 5.685e+26 kg Uranus: diameter 51118 km mass 8.683e+25 kg Neptune: diameter 49528 km mass 1.0243e+26 kg
Which planet is smaller tha Ganymede?
Mercury is smaller in diameter, but not in mass. If you include dwarf planets, than it is also larger in diameter than Eris and Pluto, however once again it is smaller in mass.
What determines the pull of gravity at a planets surface?
It's mainly to do with the mass of the planet, the more mass, the higher the gravitational pull of the planet. The two are related.

What is the smallest and fastest-moving of all planets?
Mercury is, with a diameter of 4879km, a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and an orbital velocity of 47.9km/s.
In what ways are planets different?
They do not have the exact same color, mass, diameter, number of moons, atmosphere composition, name, or gravity.
Radius and mass allow scientist to determine what planetery property?
Once you know their distances, you can determine basic properties of the planets such as mass, size, you can determine its linear diameter.
Is Uranus small or big?
Uranus is one of the bigger planets. It is the third largest planet in diameter but it is smaller in mass than Neptune.
