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: -Jupiter, the biggest planet, is more than ten times larger than Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -But despite Venus being much smaller – Jupiter’s diameter is a whopping 140, 000 kilometres, more than 10 times that of Venus, at about 12, 000 kilometres across – it will appear bigger and brighter than Jupiter. That’s partly because it is much closer to us, and partly down to reflectivity.
