Mars is the second smallest planet, Mercury is the smallest. So out of the eight planets, it is comparitively small. Mars' diameter is about half that of Earths. The Gas giant planets are much larger than the inner planets, so these would dwarf the planet Mars (and Earth).

Distance of the inner planets?

The inner planets in our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets. The distances from the Sun to these inner planets are approximately: Mercury - 57.9 million km, Venus - 108.2 million km, Earth - 149.6 million km, and Mars - 227.9 million km.


How big is an asteroid compared to other planets?

Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.


Would you need a big parachute to land on mars?

No, Mars is the second smallest plant in our solar system which means it has a gravitational pull less than that of Earth (an other planets), which means you could have a smaller parachute for Mars than of Earth.


How big is mars comared to earth?

Mars' diameter is about 6800 kilometers, and the Earth's diameter is 12,756 kilometers. Comparing the two planets, Mars' diameter is approximately 53 percent that of the Earth's.


How do the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planet?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are much smaller in size compared to the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Gas giants are significantly larger in size because they are primarily made up of gases and have thick atmospheres, whereas the inner planets have rocky surfaces and smaller overall volumes.
