FIG. 3. Diagram to show relative sizes of the planets. Drawn to scale 



appearance seems to be coincident with electrical disturbances in 

 the earth's atmosphere that affect our weather. 



Our earth is by no means the largest of the planets, in fact 

 it is a relatively small one. The equatorial diameters are given 

 in the following table : 



Miles 



Mercury 2,765 



Venus 7 , 826 



Earth 7,9*3 



Mars 4,352 



Miles 



Jupiter 90, 190 



Saturn 79 , 470 



Uranus 34, 900 



Neptune 32 , 900 



These relative sizes are shown in the diagram by a series 

 of circles drawn to scale (Fig. 3.)
