The Jupiter radius or Jovian radius (plural Jupiter radii or Jovian radii; denoted as RJ or, less commonly, RJup) has a value of 71,492 km (44,423 mi), or of 11.2 Earth radii (Rđ¨) (one Earth radius, 6378 km, equals 0.08921 RJ). The Jupiter radius is a unit of length used in astronomy to describe the radii of large planets (especially gas giants) and certain exoplanets.
