Answer 1

The diameter of Jupiter is the largest among the planets in our solar system, measuring about 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers). The distance across the United States is approximately 3,000 miles (about 4,800 kilometers), so when using a scale diagram, Jupiter's diameter would likely represent a distance of about that size. Hence, the best answer to the question would be:

Jupiter
