Basic Answer:
Saturn is much larger than Earth, as are all the gas giant planets.
How large depends on whether you are comparing the apparent size or diameter, the mass or the volume.
1. Linear Size: The width or radius of Saturn is 9 times that of Earth.
2 Volume: You could fit 792 Earth's inside of Saturn.
3. Mass: Saturn has 95 times more mass than Earth.

∙ 14y agoAccording to the TIME Almanac 2009: The equatorial diameter of Saturn is roughly 74,900 miles, and its mass is 95 times the mass of the earth. The equatorial diameter of the earth is roughly 7,940 miles. In order to compare Saturn with the earth, we note that size of a sphere varies directly as the diameter, whereas volume varies as the cube of the diameter. Saturn's size = (74,900/7,940) = 9.4 times the earth's size. Saturn's volume (how many earths could fit inside it) = (74,900/7,940)3 = 839 times the earth's volume. Notice that although Saturn could hold 839 earths, it has the mass of only 95 earths. Saturn is composed of very light stuff. The planet would float on water !

∙ 11y agoAbout 95x more massive. Beware, mass is not the same as size.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoSaturn is approximately 9.41 times larger than Earth.
You could fit about 833 Earths inside Saturn
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThat depends whether you focus on the planets' diameter, their volume, or their mass. You'll get different results in each case. Saturn has about 10 times Earth's diameter.

What planet is 700 times bigger than the Earth?
If you mean in diameter, I don't think there is such a planet. 700 times as big as the Earth would be about 7 times as large as our Sun.The question must mean "by volume". The answer then is Saturn.

What is planet is 15 more time massive than earth?
None of the planets that scientist know is exactly 15 times more massive than earth, but the closet one is Saturn, it is 18 times more bigger than earth,
How large is Earth compared to Saturn?
Its about 120,000 km in diameter, compared with Earths 12,700km diameter. So its diameter is about 9.5 times as big as the earths. But when you look at the volume (a three dimensional measurement of size) it has a volume of around 763 times that of earth.
