My mind was wandering this morning and this thought popped in to my head for no apparent reason, so thought I'd see if anyone had an answer, just out of curiosity.

Well, Jupiter's radius is approx 11 times that of earth, so its circumference and other 2 dimensional measurements would also be 11 times greater. So if the average size of a person on earth is approx 5' 9" - the equivalent on Jupiter would be 63' 3" (11 x 5.75) ...... jeez ...... I wouldn't want to meet one of them down a dark alley lol :P

You guys have forgotten that the inverse square law applies to gravitational forces. Accounting for its mass in relation to radius gravitational force should be 2.5x that of earth at surface. Viz. me who weighs 11stone here would be a massive 27.5stone! Be good exercise dragging that load around!
