To help compare orders of magnitude of different surface areas, we list here examples of areas larger than 1024 square metres, or 1 quintillion km². See also areas of other orders of magnitude and Areas smaller than 1 quintillion km²
Smaller areas
1 E+24 m²
- 1.9·1024 m² - area swept by Jupiter's orbit around Sun
- 6.4·1024 m² - area swept by Saturn's orbit around Sun
1 E+25 m²
- 2.6·1025 m² - area swept by Uranus' orbit around Sun
- 6.4·1025 m² - area swept by Neptune's orbit around Sun
1 E+26 m²
Larger areas
- 1-10 E+27 m² The area swept by orbits of some long-period comets fall within this range.
This series on orders of magnitude does not have a range of larger areas
