- Earth Facts | Surface, Atmosphere, Satellites, History & DefinitionDistance, Size and Mass. Earth is the third planet from the Sun, at a distance of 1 AU or 147 million km / 91 million mi. It is situated in the goldilocks zone where temperatures are just right for liquid water to exist and for life to evolve. Depending upon their current orbital positions, either Venus or Mercury are the closest planets to Earth.
- How Big is Jupiter? | Size Comparison, Actual Size & FactsIt has a mean radius of 69.911 km / 43.440 mi, and its mass is equivalent to 318 Earth masses. Jupiter has more than 11 times the diameter of Earth. Some scientists estimated that if Jupiter were more than 70 times more massive, it would have probably turned into a star rather than a planet.
- How Big is the Universe? | Size, Why So Big, Infinite & FactsThe observable Universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter. Some scientists believe its true size is even scarier than that.

- How Many Earths Can Fit Inside the Sun? | Facts, Amount & SummaryEarth’s Moon has a diameter of around 3.474 km / 2.158 mi and a radius of 1.737 km / 1.079 mi. In comparison to Earth, the Moon has only 1.2% of Earth’s mass, or in another way of looking at it, the Earth is 81 times heavier than the Moon. It would take around 64.3 million Moons to fit inside the Sun, filling it whole.
