  • A hydrogen atom has a diameter of approximately 1.06 x 10-10 m, as defined by the diameter of the spherical electron cloud around the nucleus.
  • The hydrogen nucleus has a diameter of approximately 2.40 x 10-15 m.

It has a negligible volume. According to string theory, it has a diameter of the Planck Length (1x10-33 meters); the Planck Length is the smallest unit of the measure of length.

Most of the volume of an atom lies in the empty space between the nucleus and its orbiting electrons. This is similar to the way that the volume of the solar system is mostly empty space.
