Are all planets the same size?
The smaller, inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The inner planets are rocky and have diameters of less than 13,000 kilometers. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Relative size means how big the planets are when compared to each other and the sun.
Can planets be different shapes?
Planets can actually be triangular, or square, or even pentagonal in shape in theory. And in principle they can also be donut shaped too, with a hole in the middle – a stable configuration though one that is easily disturbed so there probably aren’t that many donut shaped planets in the universe :).
How do planets differ in size?
Planets come in different sizes and so have different gravity levels. Mars is smaller than Earth so has less gravity. On Mars you weigh less and would be able to carry more. Smaller planets are also less likely to have an atmosphere, as there may not be enough gravity to hold the gases to the surface.
