Jupiter can fit about 1,300 Earths inside it by volume. This is because Jupiter's volume is over 1,300 times that of Earth, despite its diameter being only about 11 times larger than Earth's diameter
. NASA and various educational sources commonly cite that approximately 1,000 to 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter, with the more precise figure around 1,300
. In summary:
- Jupiter's diameter is about 11 times that of Earth.
- Jupiter's volume is about 1,300 times that of Earth.
- Therefore, roughly 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter by volume.
This large difference between diameter and volume is due to volume scaling with the cube of the diameter
