Its diameter is eleven times that of Earth and a tenth that of Earth.

   

  Jupiter is a world of extremes. It's the largest planet in our solar system – if it were a hollow shell, 1,000 Earths could fit inside. It's also the oldest planet, forming from the dust and gases left over from the Sun's formation 4.6 billion years ago. Jupiter Is Home to a 350-Year-Old Storm called the Red Spot.
