Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined.

Detailed explanation-2: -AB Aurigae b is a newly forming planet projected to be nine times the size of Jupiter. Images of the exoplanet were captured by the Hubble Space and Subaru telescopes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jupiter’s diameter is about 11 times that of the Earth’s and the Sun’s diameter is about 10 times Jupiter’s. Pluto’s diameter is slightly less than one-fifth of Earth’s.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest planet in our solar system by far is Jupiter, which beats out all the other planets in both mass and volume. Jupiter’s mass is more than 300 times that of Earth, and its diameter, at 140, 000 km, is about 11 times Earth’s diameter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system because it had the largest foundation to attract matter as a protoplanet. In the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago, each planet formed from a protoplanet foundation, a collection of dust and gas that did not fall into the sun.
