Pale Blue Dot

Against the vast backdrop of the universe (and probably the universes that we know nothing about), our Earth takes credit for being surprisingly small. With over 148.9 million km² of land that makes up the earth, some planets can fit hundreds and thousands of our relatively small planet.

Earth is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system next to the gas giants Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. It is the largest among the terrestrial planets, bigger than Venus, Mercury, and Mars. The equatorial circumference of Earth is 40,075 km, and even though it is bigger than other rocky planets, would you believe that more than 1,300 Earths could actually fit inside Jupiter?
