Compare the size of the planets

Our own world seems pretty big to us but we are by no means the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter has 317 times more mass than Earth and Saturn is 95 times as massive as Earth. But even with those planetary giants, the Sun contains 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system.

This picture gives the relative sizes of the sun and the planets that orbit around it.
