Comparing the sizes of the Sun, the planets in the Solar System, and Earth's Moon relative to Earth can give a sense of their scale. Here are the approximate diameters of these celestial bodies:
1. **The Sun**:
- Diameter: About 1,392,700 km
- Relative size: The Sun is about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
2. **The Planets**:
- **Mercury**:
- Diameter: About 4,880 km
- Relative size: Mercury's diameter is about 0.38 times that of Earth.
- **Venus**:
- Diameter: About 12,104 km
- Relative size: Venus's diameter is about 0.95 times that of Earth.
- **Earth**:
- Diameter: About 12,742 km
- Relative size: Earth is the reference point (1.0 times its own diameter).
- **Mars**:
- Diameter: About 6,779 km
- Relative size: Mars's diameter is about 0.53 times that of Earth.
- **Jupiter**:
- Diameter: About 139,820 km
- Relative size: Jupiter's diameter is about 11 times that of Earth.
- **Saturn**:
- Diameter: About 116,460 km
- Relative size: Saturn's diameter is about 9.1 times that of Earth.
- **Uranus**:
- Diameter: About 50,724 km
- Relative size: Uranus's diameter is about 4 times that of Earth.
- **Neptune**:
- Diameter: About 49,244 km
- Relative size: Neptune's diameter is about 3.9 times that of Earth.
3. **The Moon**:
- Diameter: About 3,474 km
- Relative size: The Moon's diameter is about 0.27 times that of Earth.
These comparisons highlight the vast differences in size among the celestial bodies within our Solar System, from the small rocky planets to the giant gas planets and the immense size of the Sun.
