How much larger is the diameter of the largest planet planet than the diameter of earth?

The largest planet in our Solar System is Jupiter. How much larger it is depends on what criterion you use to measure. Its diameter is about 11 times the diameter of Earth. Of course, that means that its radius and circumference are also 11 times as large as the radius and circumference of Earth, respectively. Its surface area is over 100 times larger than that of Earth (just square the diameter ratio), its volume is over a 1000 times larger (proportional to diameter cubed). Jupiter's mass is about 300 times as much as that of Earth. Many planets around other stars have several times the mass of Jupiter, but in many cases, not much is known about their diameter. However, it is expected that a planet that has, for example, 2-3 times the mass of Jupiter will NOT have a much larger diameter, since its stronger gravity will pull it together.
