Earth is classified as the largest of the terrestrial planets based on its circumference and diameter as well. At the equator, Earth's circumference is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km). It is slightly smaller between the North and South poles at 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km).Earth's diameter at the poles is 7,899.80 miles (12,713.5 km) while it is 7,926.28 miles (12,756.1 km) at the equator. For comparison, the largest planet in Earth's solar system, Jupiter, has a diameter of 88,846 miles (142,984 km).arth's Size. As the largest of the terrestrial planets, Earth has an estimated mass of 5.9736 Ã 10 24 kg. Its volume is also the largest of these planets at 108.321 Ã 10 10 km 3. In addition, Earth is the densest of the terrestrial planets as it is made up of a crust, mantle and core.
Size of the Sun as compared to Earth. The Sun has a diameter of about 1,392,000 km (~865,000 miles). Earth's diameter is 12,742 km (7,917.5 miles). The diameter of the Sun is thus 109 times as great as the Earth's diameter. In other words, you could line up 109 Earths across the face of the Sun. The Sun is about 109 times as large as Earth, in terms of diameter.
