Size comparison: Jupiter vs Sun

Size comparison between the Sun and the gas giant planet Jupiter.

We see that the sun is ten times larger in terms of diameter. Jupiter rotates faster, the temperature on its surface is negative, gravity is ten times less, its composition is not too far from that of the star. Severe storms roam its atmosphere, with winds of 600 km / h (372 mph). 79 moons revolve around Jupiter. After the Sun, the Moon and Venus, it is the 4th brightest object in the sky.
