Does Jupiter have a larger equatorial diameter or polar diameter?

Jupiter spins so much faster than Earth, for instance, that its gassy state results in bulging out at the equator. The equatorial diameter is larger than the polar diameter.

What is the diameter of Mars?
The Equatorial diameter of Mars: 6,792km or 4,220 miles.The Polar diameter of Mars: 6,752km or 4,196 miles.The equatorial diameter is the measurement around the equator, whereas the polar diameter is from pole to pole. This shows that Mars is an oblate spheroid.

What is the radis of Jupiter?
Jupiter has about 11 times the diameter (or radius) of Earth. Wikipedia lists its radius as: Equatorial radius: 71,492 ± 4 km Polar radius: 66,854 ± 10 km Note that there is quite a big difference between the two; since Jupiter rotates quite fast, it is "stretched out" in the horizontal direction.
