No. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system (the sun is a star, not a planet), but not the largest in existence. Planets larger than Jupiter have been found orbiting stars other than the sun.

What is the biggest planet in space?

The biggest planet in our SOLAR system, is Jupiter. We have never explored outside of our own galaxy, so we do not know the size of other planets in space. I'm sure there are others though much much larger! Someday, we will get that far in space technology, but for now, all we know is what lies in our solar system. Outer galactic space travel is yet to come! Well really now we have discovered a planet 1.7 times bigger then Jupiter whos name is tres 4


Which planet has the strongest magnetic field?

Scientists believe Jupiter has a liquid metallic hydrogen core which allows it to form a strong magnetic field. Trapped magnetic particles form radio waves which are amplified by the planet's many moons and which are released into space.


What planet has the most satiltes or moons?

Thanks to unmanned probes like Voyager I and II, as well as continued use of the Hubble Space Telescope and terrestrial observatories, we now know that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have impressive numbers of moons, with more being discovered every few years. So far, Jupiter is out front with 67 moons. Not surprising, since Jupiter is the largest of the eight true planets, and therefore has the strongest gravitational field. Well over half of these moons are captured asteroids. Four of Jupiter's moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are among the largest moons in the Solar System, in fact, Ganymede, the largest is actually larger than the planet Mercury. Saturn is in second place with 62 moons. Its largest, Titan, is the Solar System's largest moon.


Did Voyager 1 land on Jupiter?

Jupiter is Gaseous Planet so no Lander/Rover can land on Jupiter. Voyager is basically a Spacecraft and spacecraft is used as flyby around a planet or object. It had a flyby of Jupiter in 1979. It is now outside the heliopause - the "bubble" of plasma coming from the sun otherwise known as solar wind. It is now out in what we consider interstellar space and still transmitting.


What planet is between Mars and Jupiter orbits the sun?

There is absolutely no planet between Mars and Jupiter. I don't know where you got this question from, but that is weird. Maybe they are refering to the asteroid belt that is between these two planets.

What is the 4th largest planet in space?

Jupiter is the fourth largest planet in our solar system. It is the largest planet after Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter's massive size is primarily due to its composition of hydrogen and helium gases.


Is earth the 4th largest planet?

It all depends. If compare it to the size of us then it is huge but in space it would be considered tiny. Jupiter is 500 times its size. The Sun is 500 times Jupiter's size and a red Giant is the size of 500 Suns. So it would not huge or even medium in space and not even the sun would be considered large!


In space where would you find Ganymede?

As a moon of Jupiter, Ganymede would be found in space revolving around Jupiter. Ganymede is the largest of the moons of Jupiter, with a diameter greater than the planet Mercury (but it is much less dense). It is the largest moon in the solar system.
