Also like Earth, Jupiter’s shape is that of an oblate spheroid. In fact, Jupiter’s polar flattening is greater than that of Earth’s –0.06487 ± 0.00015 compared to 0.00335. This is due to Jupiter’s rapid rotation on its axis, and is why the planet’s equatorial radius is approximat...
The other seven planets in our solar system are all named after Roman gods or goddesses. Although onlyMercury,Venus,Mars,JupiterandSaturnwere named during ancient times, because they were visible to the naked eye, the Roman method of naming planets was retained after the discovery ofUranusandNept...

Because Earth has a weak gravitational field (by virtue of its size) and warm atmospheric temperatures (due to its proximity to the Sun) compared with the giant planets, it lacks the most common gases in the universe that they possess: hydrogen and helium. Whereas both the Sun and Jupiter ...
Compared to the other planets of the Solar System, Earth ranks somewhere in the middle. Of the terrestrial planets (i.e. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) it is the largest. However, when compared to the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) it comes in dead last! Let’s se...
What is the distance between Jupiter and the sun? How many miles are between the sun and the asteroid belt? How many planets is Jupiter from the sun? How does the size of the Sun compare to other stars? What is the radius of the earth in km?
Part Earths CompositionEarth is a terrestrial planet, meaning that it is a rocky body, rather than a gas giant like Jupiter. It is the largest of the four solar terrestrial planets, both in terms of 21、 size and mass. Of these four planets, Earth also has the highest density, the ...
