In terms of size, Jupiter is the closest in size to the sun. Jupiter has a diameter of 142,984 km, which is about 1/10th that of the sun (which has a mean diameter of about 1.392 million km).

The Earth, on the other hand, has a diameter of 12,756km; this makes it about 1/11th that of Jupiter and 1/110th that of the sun.
