How much bigger is Jupiter than Earth?
A
11 times bigger
B
100 times bigger
C
20 times bigger
D
5 times bigger
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jupiter, the biggest planet, is more than ten times larger than Earth. The maximum possible size for a planet is a few times larger than Jupiter-about the same size as the smallest stars.

Detailed explanation-3: -The b Centauri (AB) b is an exoplanet, a planet that is placed outside our solar system. Researchers said their findings show that planets can form in much more massive stellar systems than what previous results had made us believe. Being 10 times bigger than Jupiter makes it one of the biggest planets ever found.

Detailed explanation-4: -Background information: Jupiter is about 1, 400 times the size of Earth (by volume), but that’s difficult to believe, since it appears so small in the sky. It’s also difficult to visualize just how big something 1, 400 times bigger than Earth would be.

Detailed explanation-5: -The gas giant is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth, according to planetary scientist Alan Boss (opens in new tab). If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one “super planet, ‘’ Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.
