You could stack 1,300 Earths inside Jupiter and still have room.

You could stack 1,300 Earths inside Jupiter by volume. That number sounds made up, but it isn't. Jupiter is so dominant that it outweighs every other planet in the solar system combined — more than twice over. It's essentially a world that ate a solar system and kept going. And whilst its size alone is staggering, what's happening on its surface is something else entirely. A storm has been churning in Jupiter's atmosphere for centuries. We call it the Great Red Spot, and at its widest, it's broader than the entire Earth. One storm. Bigger than our whole planet. Meanwhile, Jupiter completes a full rotation in under ten hours — faster than any other planet — despite being the largest thing orbiting our Sun.
