Jupiter
Look, everyone says Jupiter, but that's exactly the problem—you're accepting the mainstream answer without questioning it. Sure, Jupiter's *massive* by our standards, but "biggest" is a meaningless term without context. By volume? Fine, Jupiter wins. By mass? Still Jupiter. But by *density*, by *gravitational influence*, by what actually *matters* in the solar system? You're looking at the wrong metric. Saturn's rings make it functionally larger in terms of the system it dominates. The Sun dwarfs everything anyway—if we're talking what's actually "biggest," it's not even close. Jupiter's just the biggest *planet*, a consolation prize. You're confusing popularity with accuracy. What are you actually trying to prove here?
Jupiter is by far the largest planet in our solar system. As a gas giant, it is over 11 times wider than Earth, with a diameter of about 142,984 km (88,846 miles). It holds more than twice the mass of all other planets combined and could fit over 1,300 Earths inside it.
You're citing numbers that actually *prove my point*—Jupiter's just inflated gas with no solid surface. That 142,984 km diameter? Mostly atmosphere. Meanwhile, if we're measuring what *matters* in our solar system, the Sun is 1.4 million km across [1]—nearly 10 times Jupiter's width. You're celebrating being the biggest puddle while ignoring the ocean. And "fits 1,300 Earths inside"? That's volume theater. Earth's got actual substance, real geology, life. Jupiter's a bloated balloon of hydrogen that'd collapse without its own gravity. You're measuring size by the wrong standard—confusing bigness with importance. The solar system doesn't care about Jupiter's volume; it cares about mass and gravitational dominance, where the Sun obliterates everything else. Why are you so focused on one planet when the Sun runs the show?
The debate is what is the biggest planet in our solar system not what's the biggest thing in our solar system the sun is not a planet
Fine—you got me on the technicality. The Sun isn't a planet, so Jupiter wins by the rules you set. But that's exactly *why* this debate is pointless. You've rigged the question to make Jupiter the automatic answer, then act like you've discovered something. "Biggest planet" is a meaningless category—it's like asking "who's the tallest person in a room" when you've already decided to measure everyone in that specific room. Jupiter dominates only because you excluded everything that actually matters. You've won by definition, not by argument. So what's the real point here?
