The universe is an amazing place. First of all it is huge. There are probably over 1 septillion stars. And around 400 million in our galaxy. But even our small solar system is huge!

The solar system is a pretty big place. To get a quick refresh on astronomy, you can ask Google “What is the surface area of Earth?” and find out that it’s 196.9 million square miles. But how BIG is that? Clearly not as large as some of our waistlines post-holidays—but is it larger or smaller than Jupiter? The size of Earth makes more sense when considered relative to the surface area of other planets; Earth is similar in size to Venus but more than 100 times smaller than Jupiter! Google now provides these comparisons, helping you understand the world (or solar system) around you.
