Facts about the the sizes of the planets

The table below shows relevant data in relation to the sizes of the planets. Note, however, that planetary sizes can be measured in different ways; i.e. by mass or volume (circumference/diameter).

Planet Mass Mass in relation to Earth Density Circumference at the equator Diameter at the equator
Mercury 3,302×1023 kg 0,055 5,43 15,329 km 4,879 km
Venus 4,8685×1024 kg 0,815 5,24 38,025 km 12.104 km

March 6,4185×1023 kg 0,107 3,94 24,343 km 6,794 km
Jupiter 1,899×1027 kg 317,83 1,33 439,263.8 km 139.822 km
Saturn 5,6846×1026 kg 95,152 0,70 378.675 km 120.536 km
Uranus 8,6832×1025 kg 14,536 1,30 159,354.1 km 51.118 km
