Yes. It is larger by both volume and by mass.
Jupiter is only about 30% larger in diameter than Saturn, but its volume is half again that of all other planets combined, more than 1320 times the volume of Earth.
But Jupiter is also around 2.5 times more massive than all of the other planets in our solar system put together (this also includes the Plutonian worlds). Jupiter's mass is equal to just under 318 Earths.
If we took the next 4 planets in terms of size we would have
Saturn (95 Earths),
Uranus (14.5 Earths),
Neptune (17 Earths) - (Neptune is smaller but denser than Uranus)
Earth (1 Earth),
we see that the mass combined of these four is only 127.5 Earths, The remaining planets Venus (0.8 Earth) , Mars (0.1 Earth) and Mercury (0.055 Earth) add very little to the total mass of planets excluding Jupiter.

Have you found any other planets bigger than Jupiter?
No, but some telescopes have detected larger planets orbiting other suns. There are larger planets than Jupiter for they are called Super Jupiters
How does the brightness of the Sun appear to Jupiter?
well Jupiter is 2.5 bigger than all the other planets combined so it get its sunlight because of how big the planet is
Is the mass and gravity of Earth used as a standard of comparison with other planets?
Yes, usually the gravity of earth is compared to the rest of the solar system but in the case of extrasolar planets which are bigger than Jupiter Jupiter is used as the comparison.
Which planet is more massive than all the others?
Jupiter is by far the heaviest - most massive - of all the planets in THIS solar system. However, there are other planets in other solar systems and most of them are bigger - a LOT bigger! - than Jupiter.It doesn't make much sense to talk about "weight" here; what would you put the planet on, to weigh it? The most massiveplanet (in our Solar System) is Jupiter. Jupiter has about 300 times the mass of the Earth; it has more mass than all the other planets together.Jupiter is easily the heaviest object in our solar system (and the largest).
What is the planet that is most similar to the sun?
If we were going to compare any planet to the sun, it would be the gas giant Jupiter. The sun is a couple of hundred times bigger than Jupiter, but the king of the planets is the one that is more similar to the sun than any of the other planets.
Is Jupiter the largest planet in our solar system?
Yes; bigger than all the other planets put together.
Is Jupiter really the largest planet in our solar system?
Yes; bigger than all the other planets put together.
Is Saturn bigger than all of the other planets?
No. Jupiter is.
What is the relative size rank of Jupiter to other planets?
3 earths can fit into the giant red spot on Jupiter. It is 317.8 times bigger than earth But it's mass is nothing compared to the sun which is 1047 times bigger. Jupiter is about 2 and a half times bigger than all the other planets in our solar system put together. Hope this helps
Have you found any other planets bigger than Jupiter?
No, but some telescopes have detected larger planets orbiting other suns. There are larger planets than Jupiter for they are called Super Jupiters
How large is Jupiter comparison to other planets?
Jupiter is 300 times bigger than the Earth, and is more than twice as big as all of the other planets combined.
How many other new planets are there?
there are 4 new dwarf and 1 huge planet bigger then Jupiter
What is bigger Jupiter or earth?
Jupiter: It's the biggest planet in the solar system. In fact, Jupiter is more than twice as big as all the other planets combined!
Why is the sun bigger than the other planets?
the sun is bigger than any other planets because millions of years ago meteorites smashed together to make the sun and to any other planets that did not happen
How does the brightness of the Sun appear to Jupiter?
well Jupiter is 2.5 bigger than all the other planets combined so it get its sunlight because of how big the planet is
What is the rank of Jupiter among planets by size?
Jupiter ranks first, as it is the largest of the 8 major planets. Although its diameter is only 20% greater than Saturn, Jupiter has more than twice the mass of all the other planets put together.
Is the mass and gravity of Earth used as a standard of comparison with other planets?
Yes, usually the gravity of earth is compared to the rest of the solar system but in the case of extrasolar planets which are bigger than Jupiter Jupiter is used as the comparison.
