What are the 2 biggest p lanets?

No one knows what the 2 biggest planets in the galaxy are, but in our Solar system, the two biggest planets are Jupiter and Saturn in terms of diameter. The answer is different if you are talking about size in terms of density or mass. Saturn is extremely light and has a low mass, for example, and if you could stand on Saturn's surface (impossible), you would weigh 91% of what you weigh on Earth. In fact, if you had a large enough swimming pool, the planet Saturn would float in its water! Mercury and Mars are the smallest, assuming that Pluto is not a planet, anymore.

On the old charts there are three planets circling the sun, then the Earth. These charts date back to the 1600's and were at first inacurate. Let me do some research and I will repost to this answer.
