Jupiter is the largest planet because of it's position in the Solar System.

It is located past what is known as the "frost line" [See related link] where it was possible for hydrogen to condense into solid ice grains. because - the then Jupiter - had the "Lions" share of free hydrogen, it grew to an immense size.
