Remember that the volume goes like radius cubed. That image suggests about four times the radius. That means 64 times the volume. It’s not as simple though, as saying it has 64 times the mass. That’s… complicated.
14.5 M⊕ (earth masses) to save you a search.
Nifty Unicode support is the only thing we like about the future

I hate when people say “twice as big” that they usually mean diameter. That crap doesn’t even make sense for circles.
I suppose volume is the best measurement of “big”
Uranus and Neptune are a strange size.
Rocky planets/moons tend to be Earth’s size or smaller. Venus is a few boulders smaller than Earth, Mars is about half the size, Mercury even smaller, Titan and Ganymede are larger though less dense than Mercury, etc. And us humans have experienced the Earth up close so we have a handle on how big rocky bodies are.
Then there’s Jupiter and Saturn, the big ones that have storms the size of our planet, that hit the ceiling for how big a “planet” can be because if you keep adding mass they only get denser, not bigger around, until they light up and become a
Stars are a whole other ball game. Here we start playing those “zoom way the hell out” videos where we start at something familiar and then “here’s how big the Sun is compared to that, then here’s Betelgeuse, and then UY Scuti or however you spell it, then we get into supermassive black holes…” These are truly brain bending.
But Uranus and Neptune are what? 3 or 4 times the radius of Earth? Uranus is to Earth as Earth is to the Moon? It fits in your head; given a solid surface and acceptable gravity a human could walk around it within a lifetime. The confronting thing about Uranus and Neptune aren’t their brain bending size, but the fact that they ARE comprehensible as real places.
Ice giants are neat.
Still not the biggest a**hole in the solar system, that title goes to /u/spez.
eh. He caused people to give Lemmy a go, leading to the wonderful communities we have here, so he can’t be that bad
Well every bad things also causes some good.
Except false vacuum decay.
Well, that would eliminate all suffering without replacing it with more suffering - it would be an instant painless death for all life - so it can’t be all bad
That’s giving him too much credit tbh
Somehow I think Hitler was worse than /u/spez
First time I ever heard this even suggested 👀
Me: Do these pants make my ass look big?
Her: No
My ass in those pants:
There has to be a ‘your mom’ joke in there somewhere.
Yeah. WAY up in there 🤪
I like Gas GIANTS and i cannot lie
Oops, not a gas giant. Ice giants, ice giants, baby
Also, anus is a hole, rather than the whole for which songs are written.
What if god was one anus
The word Uranus will never not be funny.
This man is a hero:
He’s even got crazy eyes
He"s definitely plotting something
He looks like he knew what was going to happen. Modern day equivalent would be to suggest naming a planet ligma
if the more common spelling is used
Oh, it’s a prison planet…
GYAT!
What’s this mean? I see this a lot.
It’s young folk speak for ass.
Stick out your GYAT for the Rizzler.
I think the origin is people saying GYAT when they see a nice ass and then GYAT just became ass.
Slang that went something like “god damn!” -> “gyat damn!” -> “gyat!”
Generally said when you see a big booty.
My understanding is that it’s an acronym for Girl Your Ass Thicc.
it’s more like a shortend of GOD DAMN (in a context of ass)
Wake me up when we find Urpenis, or “Planet X”
I propose Penix as the name for Planet X if we’re gonna stay with the naughty bits theme.
This is well thought out. I agree. Planet Penix.
Planet X will be what Mars is renamed to once Elon takes it over

Even the Ur anus is bigger
