Jupiter could swallow 1,300 Earths whole.

Jupiter could swallow 1,300 Earths whole. Not line them up — fit them inside, by volume. That number sounds made up, but the maths checks out. And if that weren't enough, Jupiter is more than twice as massive as every other planet in the solar system combined. It genuinely dominates out there. Now look closer. That famous rust-coloured swirl in its atmosphere? That's the Great Red Spot — a single storm wider than our entire planet, spinning continuously for centuries. Meanwhile, Jupiter itself rotates in under ten hours, faster than any other planet. A world that enormous, spinning that quickly. It also has at least 95 known moons, including Ganymede — the largest moon in the whole solar system. Follow Deep Field Vault for more of the universe, one staggering fact at a time.
