1,300 Earths can fit Inside Jupiter

Around 1,300 Earths can fit inside Jupiter. So what happens if Earth was the size of Jupiter?

A Massive Increase in Body Weight

Prominent astronomy YouTuber Astro Kobi has said that if Earth were the size of Jupiter, there would be a massive increase in our body weight due to an 11 times increase in gravity. For example, if you weigh 80 kilogrammes currently on Earth, you would weigh nearly a tonne on the massively-sized Earth.

A Day Would Last 269 Hours

If the Earth’s rotation speed was to be the same, a day on this newly-sized planet would last 269 hours.

Moon Would Likely be Torn Apart

Our Moon would likely be torn apart and form rings around Earth similar to Saturn.
