Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. Its winds are the fastest measured in the Solar System, driving methane clouds at more than 2,000 kilometers per hour.
Scale Comparison
Jupiter is about 2.8 times Neptune’s diameter, comparing the largest gas giant with an ice giant.
Jupiter and Neptune both have deep atmospheres without solid surfaces, but their interiors and bulk compositions differ. Diameter alone does not make one a scaled copy of the other.
Objects
Object details and sources
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, with about 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets combined. It spins once in just under 10 hours, the shortest day of any planet.

About
Scale of Space is a scroll-based journey through the universe, placing objects on a single logarithmic scale so you can compare size across an unbroken range.
Guides explain selected parts of that range, while focused views filter the objects by subject.
