The Sun is significantly larger than Jupiter. In terms of size, the Sun is approximately 1,391,000 kilometers (about 864,000 miles) in diameter, while Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has a diameter of about 139,820 kilometers (about 86,881 miles).

To compare their sizes, you can calculate the Sun's diameter divided by Jupiter's diameter:

Sun's diameter / Jupiter's diameter ≈ 1,391,000 km / 139,820 km ≈ 9.94

So, the Sun is roughly 9.94 times bigger than Jupiter in terms of diameter. In terms of volume or mass, the Sun is much larger than Jupiter. The Sun contains about 1.989 x 10^30 kilograms of mass, while Jupiter has only about 1.898 x 10^27 kilograms of mass. This means the Sun is significantly more massive than Jupiter as well.
