Jupiter diameters

dimension	length
synonyms	Jovian diameter

This unit represents the diameter of Jupiter.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the first gaz giant. It is the largest planet in the solar system.

The distinctive red spot of Jupiter is a storm that has been raging for at least 350 years and has wind-speeds up to 432 km/h. The storm is more than twice the diameter of Earth.

Value

The mean diameter of Jupiter is 139822 kilometers.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
