Brant Gaede Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Our sun has a diameter of one million miles. It is, what?--90 million miles to earth. The largest known star has a diameter about 1700 times that. Stars that are the right size for an earth-like complex life planet are about 15% of the stars in this galaxy. I thought that Jupiter in the video was too small relative to Saturn. (Time to go to Wikipedia.) --Brant my mind is boggled edit: I was right; the diameter of Jupiter is almost twice that of Saturn Edited September 30, 2014 by Brant Gaede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) edit: I was right; the diameter of Jupiter is almost twice that of SaturnjesusAside from the sun the mass of Jupiter is 2 1/2 times all the mass of the solar system and is 1/1000th that of the sun.--BrantI love WikipediaCORRECTION: Jupiter is only 12,000 miles in diameter greater than Saturn but has over three times the mass (so the visual representation is accurate)(my ego has been self-betrayed)Saturn and Jupiter comprise 92% of the planetary mass of the solar systemlook at it this way, Derek: instead of only "jesus" you can now say "jesus, jesus"!
