Computer artwork showing Jupiter and Earth sizes
Jupiter and Earth, Computer artwork showing the relative sizes of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, and Earth. Jupiter is a massive gas giant planet, composed mainly of the gases hydrogen and helium. Traces of other gases are responsible for its distinctive colouration. Jupiter is 143, 760 kilometres in diameter, but has the fastest rotation of all the planets, spinning on its axis every 9 hours and 50 minutes. Earth (lower left) is a small rocky planet, and has a diameter of 12, 760 kilometres. Earths moon is seen above it. It is one of the largest satellites in the Solar System, being 3476 kilometres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the awe-inspiring size comparison between Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, and Earth. With its vibrant colors caused by traces of various gases, Jupiter is a colossal gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. Stretching an astonishing 143,760 kilometers in diameter, it reigns supreme as the biggest planet while boasting the fastest rotation among all celestial bodies. Remarkably, this massive sphere completes a full spin on its axis every 9 hours and 50 minutes. In stark contrast to Jupiter's grandeur lies our humble home - Earth. Positioned at the lower left corner of this print, our small rocky planet measures merely 12,760 kilometers in diameter. Above Earth hovers its faithful companion – the Moon – one of the largest satellites within our Solar System with a width spanning across 3,476 kilometers. This mesmerizing image invites us to contemplate both the vastness and diversity present within our cosmic neighborhood. It serves as a reminder that despite their contrasting sizes and compositions, these celestial entities are interconnected parts of a much larger tapestry woven together by gravity's gentle touch. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal created by Science Photo Library's artistic visionaries, we cannot help but marvel at nature's boundless wonders that continue to inspire scientists and stargazers alike.
