Diameter of Earth: 12 756.28 km Diametre of Jupiter: 142,984 km Jupiter's diameter is over ten times greater than the Earth's. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 426 pounds at Jupiter's cloud tops. Jupiter is five times further from the Sun than the Earth. Jupiter is so large that its famous Great Red Spot (actually a giant, hurricane-like storm that's at least 400 years old) would easily swallow the Earth. Jupiter spins so fast on its axis that it bulges noticeably at its equator (a day on Jupiter is about ten hours long)
