The diameter of Jupiter is approximately 133,708 km from pole to pole, or 142,984 km at the equator.

There is a slight difference because of flattening due to rotational forces. As Jupiter spins, it gets bigger through the middle. (Other planets that spin on their axes experience flattening just like Jupiter does.) The term applied to that flattening due to spinning is called oblation. A spherical body that experiences this distortion due to its rotation is called an oblate spheroid. In miles, 88,736.
