How does the sun compare in size to Jupiter?
You have to take away sun's circumference to jupiter's circumference. sun's circumference is 4,239,000 and jupiter's circumference is 449.020.
What is a major significant difference between the sun and Jupiter?
The difference in mass
What is the mass of Jupiter?
You don't weigh it, you compare it with standard mass units.
Is the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter or between the sun and Saturn?
Sun and Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass and it is closer to the sun.
Is Jupiter bigger or smaller than the Sun?
Jupiter is quite a bit smaller than the Sun both in appearance from Earth and in actual size.
Is Jupiter bigger than the Sun?
Jupiter is 10 times smaller than the Sun and it is 1/1000 the mass of the sun.
Is the sun about the same size as Jupiter?
No. The sun is much larger than Jupiter.
How does the diameter and volume of the sun compare to the size and mass of other space object?
For example, the Sun is roughly 109 times the diameter of Earth; and about 10 times the diameter of Jupiter. The volume (for the simplifying assumption of perfect spheres) is proportional to the third power of the diameter.

What is the difference in the size of Jupiter and the sun?
The answer is that the Sun is a lot bigger. The Sun's volume is about 986 times that of Jupiter.
Is Jupiter 318 times larger than the sun?
No, Jupiter is only about 1/1000 the mass of the sun. It is 318 times the mass of the Earth though.
Would all eight planets fit inside the sun fit inside the sun?
99.8 percent of the total mass of our solar system is the Sun, and most of the rest is Jupiter. If there were 500 planets the size of Jupiter, they would STILL all fit inside the Sun.
