[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 3800273, member: 51528"] What I'm saying is that Jupiter's diameter is 11 times the diameter of the Earth. As Sir Brennan stated, 1300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter. After rereading his blog he does state 'Jupiter's like 80,000 miles across [B]and[/B] 300 times the size of the Earth.' I misread...I thought he thought the diameter was 300 times Earth's. (To be correct...Jupiter is 1300 times the size, 300 times the mass...so he still didn't pick the best reference.) So that's good news...he's aware of the size he's suggesting and is fine with it. But I still stand by my opinion that stating 'the Abyss is thousands of miles across' does not properly convey that it is meant to be able to swallow Jupiter. 'Thousands of miles across' means it can swallow one Earth at a time. 'Almost 100,000 miles across' means it can swallow over a 1000 Earths at once, with room for tens of thousands inside. [/QUOTE]
