The equatorial diameter of the planet Uranus is 51,118 km(31,763 miles). The equatorial diameter of the planet Earth is 12,576 km (7,926 miles).Because of its thicker atmosphere, Uranus is therefore 4 times as wide as Earth, and its volume 63 times that of Earth. However, its much lower average density means that Uranus has only about 14 times Earth's mass.
Saturn rotates on its axis like a spinning top, causing it to exhibit an oblate shape where its equatorial diameter is larger than its polar diameter. This rotation gives Saturn its distinctive flattened appearance, but it does not rotate on its side like a ball spinning on a table.
Saturn is about 9.41 times larger than the Earth
Saturn rotates on its axis at an average speed of about 10,500 miles per hour (16,800 kilometers per hour). This rapid rotation gives Saturn its distinct oblate shape, with its equatorial diameter being larger than its polar diameter.
Yes. Neptune is a gas giant.
The diameter of the Earth, when measured as a globe, is approximately 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles). However, because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, its equatorial diameter is slightly larger than its polar diameter, which is about 12,714 kilometers (7,900 miles).
Jupiter spins so much faster than Earth, for instance, that its gassy state results in bulging out at the equator. The equatorial diameter is larger than the polar diameter.
Jupiter's moon Ganymede is the largest. It is the largest moon in the Solar System. Ganymede's equatorial diameter is 5,262 km. This is about 2% larger than Saturn's moon Titan. Pluto's equatorial diameter is only 2,274 km. The Earth's Moon has an equatorial diameter of 3,476 km. Mercury's equatorial diameter is 4,880 km. It is smaller than Ganymede but more massive.

The diameter of Mars is just over half the diameter of Earth.To be accurate, it depends on where you measure it.The equatorial radius of Mars is 3,396.2 km which is 0.533 Earth's 6,378.1 km.The polar radius of Mars is 3,376.2 km which is 0.531 Earth's 6,356.8 km.
The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter.
Wikipedia lists the radius of Vega as 2.362 × 2.818 times that of the Sun. Of course, the diameter would be larger than the Sun by the same factor. It is believed that Vega rotates rapidly, thus, the equatorial diameter would be larger. The volume would therefore be 2.362 × 2.818 × 2.818 times that of the Sun.
Pluto's equatorial diameter is 2,274 km. The diameter of Earth's moon is 3,476 km. Jupiter has four moons larger than Pluto:-Ganymede - diameter 5,262 kmCallisto - diameter 4,800 kmIo - diameter 3,630 kmEuropa - diameter 3,138 kmSaturn has one moon larger than Pluto - Titan - diameter 5,150 kmNeptune has one moon larger than Pluto - Triton - diameter 2,700 kmThus, there are seven moons larger than Pluto in our Solar System.
It is .25 mm that is the larger diameter
The circumference of the Earth around the equator is approximately 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles), while the circumference through the poles is about 40,008 kilometers (24,860 miles). This means the equatorial circumference is slightly larger due to the Earth's equatorial bulge caused by its rotation. The difference is about 67 kilometers (41 miles), highlighting the Earth's oblate spheroid shape.

From the NASA site: "The diameter of Earth from North Pole to South Pole is 7,899.83 miles (12,713.54 kilometers), but through the equator it is 7,926.41 miles (12,756.32 kilometers). This difference, 26.58 miles (42.78 kilometers), is only 1/298 the diameter of Earth." Thus the earth is 25 miles or 42.78 km wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This is only 0.3%, too small to be seen visually.
